Printer Password Needed

[jimspy]

Can anyone tell me where to find the default admin PASSWORD for my 9010e?  

Can anyone tell me why a printer needs both a PIN and a PASSWORD?

Have I stumped you?

Hi @jimspy 

1. Usually the PIN is required when you are connecting with a network wifi router that has WPS configuration enabled.

2. And the PASSWORD is used when you are setting up your printer with Wi-Fi Direct option.

3. WPS configuration using a PIN:

4.  Wi-Fi Direct setup using a PASSWORD:

So the password I'm being asked for by HP Print & Scan Doctor is the WiFi Direct password?  There's no other password associated with the printer?  

OK, that's great.  But here's the problem:  I'm running Print & Scan Doctor because my printer is frozen.  Can't pull up anything on the screen, so looking up the WiFi Direct password is out of the question.  I suppose I'll have to unplug the printer altogether, re-connect power and hope it resets.  After that I'll be sure and look up the WiFi Direct password and jot it down for the future.  

You get a "Yes" and an "Accept" for your efforts.  Thank you.
