I am on the last step of setting up my printer however I am prompted (as in pic below) to enter a printer password and not sure what this is. My pc does not have a password nor did I have a printer before.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,
We would have to perform a semi-full reset on the printer.
- The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
