Hi @VJJM123,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To change the Wi-Fi password for your HP printer so you can connect and print from your iPhone, follow these steps.

Connect to Your Printer's Network:

• Make sure your printer is turned on.
• On your iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and connect to the printer's Wi-Fi network (usually something like "HP-XXXX").

Access the Printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS):

• Open a web browser on your iPhone and enter the printer's IP address in the address bar.
• You can find the printer's IP address by printing a network configuration page from the printer (usually found in the settings menu).

Login to the EWS:

• In the EWS, look for a Settings or Network tab.

Change the Wi-Fi Password:

• Under the Wireless settings, find the option for Wireless Security or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
• Change the Wi-Fi password (also known as the WPA/WPA2 passphrase) to a new one. Make sure it’s something you can remember.

Save the Changes:

• Click Apply or Save to update the settings.

Reconnect Your iPhone:

• After changing the password, reconnect your iPhone to the printer's Wi-Fi network using the new password.

Print from Your iPhone:

• Open the document or image you want to print and use the Share icon to select Print, then choose your printer.

If You Can't Access the EWS:

• If you can't connect to the printer's network or access the EWS, you may need to reset the printer's network settings to default. This usually involves holding down the Wireless and Cancel buttons on the printer until the wireless light starts blinking. After this, you can set up the printer again using the HP Smart app or through the printer's control panel.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
