@unluakin, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

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

It sounds frustrating to be stuck at this step. Let's try a few solutions to get your HP Ink Tank Wireless 415 printer back on track:

Resetting the Printer's Network Settings

Restore Network Settings:

• Turn on the printer.
• Press and hold the Wireless button and the Cancel button on the printer for 5 seconds until the wireless light starts blinking. This will restore the factory default network settings.

Reconnect to Wi-Fi:

• Open the HP Smart app on your device.
• Follow the prompts to add a new printer and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.

Accessing the Embedded Web Server (EWS)

Print a Network Configuration Page:

• Press the Information button on the printer (or hold it for 5 seconds).
• Look for the EWS Username and Password in the printed document. It might be listed as a PIN or default access credentials.

Access the EWS:

• Open a web browser and enter the printer’s IP address (found on the network configuration page).
• Navigate to the Settings or Security tab to reset the password from the EWS interface.

Factory Reset the Printer

Using HP Smart App:

• Download and install the HP Smart app from the Microsoft Store.
• Connect to the printer via USB cable or IP address.
• Click on the printer icon twice and select Advanced Settings.
• Scroll down to Restore Defaults and choose Restore Factory Defaults

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
