Deskjet 2600 is asking for Password for printer?

Deskjet 2600 printer--asking for a password for the printer?  NOT for the wi-fi but for the Printer?   Have no idea where to fint that?

If you're configuring the printer for WiFi direct mode then there's an SSID (name) and a password associated with it.

Reset the printer and try to connect to the modem/router.

Page 62 of the users manual explains the WPS push button method to connect to a modem.  This doesn't require a password but you have about two minutes to find the modem and push the button on it.

Official HP way to connect but mostly uses words and only a few pictures.

Deskjet Reference 2600 series 2624 2680

Let me know if you have a flex system (WiFi boosters or repeaters) as the setup is much more complicated.

Beemerbiker-thanks for your response.    It is not for connecting to wi-fi/router.   Once the printer connects to wi-fi and the bluetooth pops up the Deskjet 2600 --it's asking for a password?   can't get any further than that??   Where would we find/get this password??

I am confused.

As far as I know there are no hp printers that use Bluetooth to print.

HP Smart, when used on a smartphone, uses Bluetooth to communicate with Bluetooth  enabled HP printers but only for configuration purposes.  Once the printer is configured then you print from a smart phone , laptop, tablet, etc., using Wi-fi. The WiFi user goes directly to the printer using WiFi direct or it goes through the router using a normal Wi-Fi connection.

You should not be attempting to pair a smart phone with an HP printer over bluetooth.  

The video below shows how to use Wi-fi direct to print directly to the printer and not go through the modem
