Hi @newt7,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community. 

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

 

I see that you are facing wi-fi connection issues with your HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e All-In-One Printer after changing internet service provider.

 

Please follow the steps listed below to restore the printer to its network defaults and then reconnect to the wireless network.

 

Step 1: Restore the printer to its network defaults.
1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the Dashboard, and then touch ( Setup ).
2. Touch Network Setup.
3. Touch Restore Network Settings.
A message appears stating that the network defaults will be restored.
4. Touch Yes.

 

Step 2: Re-connect the printer to the network.
1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the Dashboard, and then touch (Wireless).
2. Touch (Settings).
3. Touch Wireless Settings.
4. Touch Wireless Setup Wizard or Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
5. Follow the display instructions to complete the setup.

That was no help at all.  This was an additional waste of time.  No one can tell me how to unlock the code to get into the printer when I never set one.  I cannot do anything without that code or log in.  so if you did not understand that I am sorry.  I am just so angry with HP.  if I see the message in the scree one more time that it has been locked by the person who set it up I am just going to have to get a new printer.  HP customer service is crap.  round and round in circles and not one person has helped.  it is truly unreal.  I will never buy an HP anything again.  I could not even sell the stupid thing because if I can't get in as the owner and purchaser... how the heck can someone else.  I wish I could sue HP and also bill them for all the time I have spent on this and other issues.

I am also offended at the fact that you did not even read what I wrote.  you must be an HP employee because the do not read.
