[Ray1042]

I’ve had a HP Desk jet 3630 series printer from my granddaughter. Trying to connect to Wy-Fi and it’s asking me for a password for this product. How do I get a password?

Hi @Ray1042,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP DeskJet 3630 All-in-One Printer to Wi-Fi, you'll need the Wi-Fi network password rather than a password specific to the printer itself. 

Here’s how you can find and enter the necessary Wi-Fi password:
 

Steps to Connect Your Printer to Wi-Fi

Find Your Wi-Fi Password:

• Check Your Router: Often, the default Wi-Fi password is printed on a label on the router itself.
• Use a Device Connected to the Wi-Fi: You can check the Wi-Fi password on a device (like a computer or smartphone) already connected to the network:
  • Windows:
    • Open Settings > Network & Internet > Status.
    • Click on Network and Sharing Center.
    • Click on your Wi-Fi network name.
    • Click on Wireless Properties > Security tab, and check Show characters to reveal the password.
  • Mac:
    • Open System Preferences > Network.
    • Select Wi-Fi and then click on Advanced.
    • Find your network name, and you can view the password if you check the box for Show password (you may need to enter your Mac’s admin password).

Prepare the Printer:

• Ensure that your printer is turned on and in a ready state.

Connect the Printer to Wi-Fi:

• On the printer control panel, navigate to the Setup menu (the gear icon).
• Select Network or Wireless Settings.
• Choose Wireless Setup Wizard. The printer will search for available networks.
• Select your Wi-Fi network from the list.
• Enter the Wi-Fi password when prompted, and confirm.

Install the HP Smart App (optional but recommended):

• Download the HP Smart App from the Microsoft Store, Apple App Store, or HP's website.
• Open the app and follow the prompts to add your printer. It will guide you through the connection process.
