Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
To reset your HP wireless printer password, the steps can vary slightly depending on the model, but here are the most common methods:

Option 1: Restore Network Settings to Default

This resets the wireless settings including the password:

1. Turn on the printer.
2. Press and hold the Wireless button and the Cancel button simultaneously for 5 seconds.
3. The printer will restart, and the wireless light will start blinking, indicating it's ready for setup again.

Option 2: Use the HP Smart App

If your printer is connected to the HP Smart app:

1. Open the HP Smart app on your phone or computer.
2. Tap your printer, then go to Advanced Settings.
3. Navigate to Settings > Security > Password Settings.
4. Enter the PIN (usually found on a sticker on the printer).
5. Set a new password or leave it blank to remove it.

Option 3: Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS)

If your printer is still connected to the network:

1. Find your printer’s IP address (usually from the control panel).
2. Enter the IP in a browser to open the Embedded Web Server.
3. Go to Network > Wireless Settings > Security.
4. Change the password and save. 

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
