Hello, 

Tried to set up a new printer via iOS and HP Smart app. Something went wrong. Then start again and now there are mystic password to connect iphone to Direct-FD-HP at wi-fi settings.

I didn’t set any password before.

How to reset it or delete or get to know what is it?

 

Press and hold Wifi and Resume buttons on printer, nothing changes, still there are this mystic password to connect phone via printer.

 

Thanks

@esbei, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

It seems like you are trying to connect the printer and the iOS device via wifi-direct. This is done when you do not have access to a wireless router.

The default password is 12345678.

If that does not work, Press and hold the resume button(down arrow) for about 10 seconds until the power LED blinks slowly, and release.

It will print a configuration report with wifi direct password.

 

For more info on this issue, refer to - Printing with Wi-Fi Direct

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
