Hi @Justletmein4,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

Sure, I can help you with that! Here's a general procedure you can follow to reset the Wi-Fi settings on your HP printer.

• Power Cycle: First, turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source. Wait for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Factory Reset: Most HP printers have a way to perform a factory reset, which will revert all settings including Wi-Fi back to their original state. The method varies depending on the model, so check your printer's manual or HP's support website for specific instructions. Typically, you might find a "Reset" button on the printer itself or an option in the printer's menu.
• Connect via USB: If you're unable to reset the Wi-Fi settings, another option is to connect your printer to your computer using a USB cable. Once connected, you can access the printer's settings through your computer's control panel or settings menu. From there, you can set up the Wi-Fi connection manually.
• Default Password: If the printer is asking for a password to connect to Wi-Fi, it might be using the default password set by the manufacturer. Common default passwords are often found in the printer's manual or on the manufacturer's website. For HP printers, the default password might be something like "admin" or "password".

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
