Hi @Elmer50
Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.
I hear you—before jumping into steps, let’s make sure we fully understand what’s happening with your HP DeskJet 6455e and the password situation.
A printer password can mean different things depending on the context, so I’d like to clarify a few points with you first:
- Are you referring to the Wi-Fi Direct password that appears on the printer’s display or information page when connecting a device directly?
- Or is this about the embedded web server (EWS) / admin password used to access the printer’s settings through a browser?
- Could it be the network password for your wireless router that the printer needs in order to connect to Wi-Fi?
- Have you recently set up the printer through the HP App, and now it’s prompting for a password during setup or printing?
Each of these scenarios has a different path to resolution. Knowing exactly which password prompt you’re seeing will help us isolate the issue and guide you with precise steps.
Can you describe where and when the printer is asking for the password—on the printer’s screen, in the HP App, or on your computer?
We're looking forward to helping you get back up and running!
Regards,
Hawks_Eye
