Hey I’ve recently got a new modem, & since the power went out I can’t connect the printer back to wirelessly to the modem, it keeps telling me the WPA Passphrase is wrong, it’s defiantly the correct password. Can you help please

Please try these steps to reset the printer -
1) Take out the cartridges.
2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.
3) Wait for 30 seconds.
4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not to a surge protector.
5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.
Try restoring the network settings to defaults -

2.) Touch Wireless.
3.) Touch Wireless Settings
