HP Officejet Pro 8610 changed my router now "locked by administrator or person who set up printer"

[Alan98]

Printer has been working fine until I had to change routers.  Now I cannot update the wifi info.  The wireless settings for Wireless On/Off are grayed out to include the ones for Wireless Setup Wizard and Wifi Protected Setup. When I click on one of the, the phrase "The feature has been locked by your administrator or the person who set up the printer.  Hw can I get past this to set up my new wifi settings?

@Alan98, Welcome to HP Support Community!

The only option left is to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device. 

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.

Hope this helps!

Hi Tej1602,

I've spent all night trying to restore internet wireless connection between my HP Officejet Pro 8610 and my laptop. Mind that this morning I'd uninstalled my previous modem/router with a new one marked differently. During the installation of the latest one , I've preferred to set on the new and safer WPA 3 encryption protocols rather than the old WPA or WPA 2 protocols. This might has been caused aforesaid missing wireless connection between a/m devices. In fact, I've read old devices aren't compatible with new protocols. Thanking you for any further clarifications and suggestions. Bye
