Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you want to change WiFi direct password, I am glad to assist you.

• Access the printer's web-based homepage, as known as the Embedded Web Server (EWS), to change the Wi-Fi Direct settings.
• Make sure your computer or mobile device is connected to your printer over the internet or with Wi-Fi Direct.
• On your computer or mobile device, open the printer EWS.
• NOTE: You cannot access the EWS over a USB connection.
• For Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections, open the Advanced Settings (EWS) in the HP Smart app or type the printer IP address into a web browser address bar.
• For Wi-Fi Direct connections, open a web browser, type 192.168.223.1 into the address bar, and then press Enter.
• If a login or certificate window displays, complete the information to finish opening the EWS.
• If a website security certificate displays, click Continue to open the printer homepage.
• If a login window opens, type admin for the username, and then type the PIN found on the label located underneath or on the back of the printer, or the password set by the printer administrator.
• On the printer home page, click Network, select Wi-Fi Direct, and then click Status.
• 
• On the Status screen, click Edit Settings, and then customize the settings to make the Wi-Fi Direct connection more secure.
• Status: Turn Wi-Fi Direct on or off. HP recommends turning Wi-Fi Direct off when you are not using it.
• Wi-Fi Direct Name: Change the printer name to something you can recognize easily but is not personally identifiable to protect your privacy.
• Connection Method: Choose Manual or Advanced to require a password to use the printer. HP does not recommend using the Automatic method to avoid unwanted access and printouts.
• Wi-Fi Direct Password: Create a custom password to add extra security, or click Generate to randomly generate a password.
