I don't remember my password to my printers set up for internet... How do I go about finding it out or resetting a new password

Hi @Court10171,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I understand you've forgotten your HP printer's password for setup or internet connectivity. There are a few steps you can take to reset or retrieve it:
 

Check the Printer Sticker:
 

• Some HP printers come with a default password that might be listed on a sticker on the printer itself.
   

Reset the Embedded Web Server Password:
 

• Access the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS):
  • Connect your computer to your printer's network.
  • Open a web browser and enter the printer's IP address to access the EWS.
     
• Once inside, navigate to the 'Settings' or 'Security' menu.
   
• Look for the option to 'Set Password' and enter a new password. You might be required to enter an old password to change it; in this case, reset the entire EWS settings.
   

Perform a Network Reset:
 

• This might not reset the admin password, but it will help if the network password needs to be changed:
  
  
  • On the printer's control panel, access the wireless or network menu.
     
  • Locate and select the option for 'Restore Network Defaults' or a similar option that resets the Wi-Fi settings.
    
    
    I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
