@Patrick10111, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If you're trying to find the Wi-Fi Direct password or the printer's embedded web server (EWS) password for your HP ENVY 4520, here are the steps to help you out:
To Find the Wi-Fi Direct Password:
- On the printer control panel, tap the Wi-Fi Direct icon (or go to Settings > Wi-Fi Direct).
- Tap Settings or the gear icon.
- Look for Display Name and Password. The password should be listed there.
- If not visible, you can print a Network Configuration Page:
- Go to Settings > Reports > Network Configuration Page.
- The Wi-Fi Direct password will be listed under the Wi-Fi Direct section.
If You're Asked for an Administrator Password (EWS or Printer Settings):
If you're trying to access the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS) and it's asking for a password:
- Try using "admin" as the username and leave the password blank.
- If that doesn’t work, the password may have been set manually. In that case, you may need to restore the printer to factory defaults:
To Restore Network Settings:
- On the printer, go to Settings > Restore Network Settings.
- Confirm the reset.
- Reconnect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
