Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

 

Are you able to do a "Restore  Network Settings"?

 

1. Tap on WIrelsss icon 

 

2. Go to Settings

 

3. Scroll down and select "Restore Netwrok settings"

 

Does that work?

Thanks for your reply.  

 

I followed your instructions, but I was not successful.  When I click on the Wireless icon, I can scroll down to the Restore Network Settings icon, but it is grayed-out.  When I click on Restore Network Settings, the message I receive is "The feature has been locked by the person who set up the printer".

 

From the Home screen, when I click on Settings, and then click on Network Setup,  one menu item is Wireless Settings.  When I click on Wireless Settings, one menu item is Wireless Setup Wizard, which is grayed-out.  When I click on Wireless Setup Wizard , the message I receive is "The feature has been locked by the person who set up the printer".

 

Is there another way to reset these settings?  Thank you.

I am trying to set up a new wireless connection. I keep getting the message "this feature has been locked by the person who set up the printer". Is there a way to go in and unlock this feature?
