How to reset my HP Deskjet 2546B

[Emily_2000]

My mom set up our DeskJet 2546B at our old house. Since then we have moved, got a different wifi provider and purchased new laptops. However we cannot comment them to our printer wirelessly because we have forgotten our old Network Security Key. IS there a way i can reset my Network security key for my printer? Or if possible is there a way i can factory reset my printer?

@Emily_2000,

Thank you for posting your query on HP Community,

Let's try these steps here: 

Network Restore - Press the Wireless button and the Cancel button from the printer control panel at the same time, and then hold them for three seconds.

If the router has a WPS push button, try these steps to connect the printer to the network -

1) Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer for more than three seconds to start WPS push mode. The Wireless light starts blinking.

2) Press the WPS button on your router.

NOTE: THE MOMENT YOU PRESS THE WIRELESS BUTTON ON YOUR PRINTER, WITHIN 30 SECONDS YOU SHOULD PRESS THE WPS BUTTON ON THE ROUTER.

If this step is not successful, then we need to first connect the printer to a computer using a USB and then convert the wired connection to wireless as the printer does not have a control panel to enter the Wi-Fi password. 

Please refer to this link for steps.
