Welcome to the HP User Community.

Wi-Fi Direct is a wireless connection that uses your printer's wireless card to connect to your computer.

This is not the same as a standard Wireless network setup.

Use the following guide to help you find - and optionally change - the Wi-Direct password.

See Section FAQ - Question: How do I change the Wi-Fi Direct password and other settings?

Thank you for your response, I have done that and it is telling me that it has a password, so I must have changed it months ago, as I mentioned I have tried everything I can  think of but I cannot get in, and nowhere to change the password

You are welcome.

Wi-Fi Direct

The only other thing you can do is switch OFF Wi-Fi Direct - and set it up again.

Switching OFF Wi-Fi Direct does not in any way impact your standard network printer wireless setup or its password.

Wi-Fi Direct is also explained in your User Guide  - What you can do , how to do it, where to look for the information.

Section   Connect wirelessly without a router - Starting on Page 32

What if?

If you are actually using standard Wireless and not Wi-Fi Direct,

Consider resetting the Wireless back to default settings so you can reconfigure the wireless setup.

Instructions are located in the manual on Page 35
