Hi, I’ve been given a wireless HP DeskJet 2540 Printer & trying to connect it to my WiFi but don’t know the password. I’ve gone on to Google to reset, but it’s saying incorrect

@Suzie2428, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

Which password is the printer asking for?

Is it the Wi-Fi network password (used to connect to your router)?

A WPS PIN (usually shown on your printer screen or printed during setup)?

Or is it asking for some other kind of PIN or password?

Once we know that, I can guide you step-by-step based on exactly what you're seeing.

 

Meanwhile, you can refer to this guide: HP printer setup (Wi-Fi network) | HP® Support

 

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
