@Poon88, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP DeskJet! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

If your HP Deskjet 2545 is in Wi-Fi Direct mode, you can find the default password by following these steps:

 

Check the Printer Label

  • Look for a sticker on the back or bottom of the printer.
  • The Wi-Fi Direct name (SSID) and password (sometimes labeled as "Passphrase" or "Key") should be printed there.

Print a Network Configuration Page

  1. Turn on the printer.
  2. Press and hold the Wi-Fi Direct button (or Wireless + Information button) for 3–5 seconds.
  3. A Network Configuration Page will print, displaying the Wi-Fi Direct password.

Reset the Wi-Fi Direct Password

If you changed the password before and forgot it, you can reset Wi-Fi settings by:

  1. Press and hold the Wi-Fi and Cancel (X) buttons together for 3 seconds.
  2. The printer will restart, and Wi-Fi Direct will reset to its default settings.

Let me know if you need more help! 😊  

  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
