Hi @bobcadd3678,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

If your HP printer is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the WPA2 password is actually the Wi-Fi password of the network, not something specific to the printer. Here’s how you can find or reset this password.

 

Check Your Router: The WPA2 password is usually on a label on the back or bottom of your router. It may be called "Wi-Fi Password," "WPA2 Key," or "Network Key."

Access Your Router’s Settings:

  • Log in to your router’s settings by typing the IP address into a browser (often something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).
  • Find the "Wireless" or "Wi-Fi" settings, where your current WPA2 password should be visible.

Change the Wi-Fi Password: If you can’t find the password or want to reset it, you can create a new WPA2 password in your router’s settings. Be sure to reconnect all your devices, including your HP printer, with the new password.

HP Smart App: If you’re using the HP Smart app, you can go through the Wi-Fi setup again to reconnect your printer to the network by entering the WPA2 password when prompted.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
