Hi @JodieAL 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

I understand you are getting OW_500_OWSID00001.

 

The reason for this error is:  

 

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection is causing the error. Disconnect the computer or mobile device from the VPN, and then return to the HP app to complete the setup.
