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.

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
