Hi @Raylene1,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand the password for the Direct-EF-HP-DeskJet 2600 series network is typically the default password set by HP. For many HP printers, this password is often a default value such as 12345678 or 00000000.
 

If that doesn't work, follow these steps to retrieve or reset the password:
 

Check the Printer's Documentation: Look in the printer's manual or quick start guide for the default password. This is often included in the network setup section.

Access the Printer's Control Panel:

  • On the printer's control panel, navigate to the wireless settings or network setup section.
  • Look for options related to Wi-Fi Direct or network settings. You may find the current password listed there.

Printer’s Configuration Page:

  • Print a configuration page from the printer's settings menu. This page may contain network information, including the Wi-Fi Direct password.

Reset to Factory Defaults:

  • If you can't find or remember the password, you can reset the printer's network settings to factory defaults. This will also reset the Wi-Fi Direct password to its default value.
  • To reset the network settings, go to the printer's settings menu, select "Wireless" or "Network," and choose the option to restore default settings. The method may vary depending on the printer model, so consult the user manual for specific instructions.

HP Smart App:

  • Use the HP Smart app to check or change network settings. Sometimes, the app can provide information about the current network password or allow you to reset it.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
