How can I retrieve the wifi password of HP 2545?

Hi belski,

 

I understand you would like to know how to retrieve the printer's wifi password. I can help you.

 

Print a configuration page to get the printer's network information.

Printing a Network Configuration Page.

 

To verify the wireless password on the computer, if it is wireless, you can access the network information through the Print and Scan Doctor or right on the computer if the computer is wireless setup to the router.

 

Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows? Click on Network across the top, show Advanced Info, Show Wireless Info. 

It will list the SSID, (network name) Network Key, (password) and the Security Type. (WEP, WPA, Open)

 

From the computer, right click on the wireless icon on the taskbar, click properties, check show password, shows password and encryption type. 

 

If the computer is hardwired to the router, then contact the router company to access this information.

 

Here is some documentation for Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection.

 

If you need further assistance, just let me know.

Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Restore default wireless settings on the printer

Press a series of buttons on the printer to reset the wireless settings to ensure that the connection completes successfully.
  1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
  2. If the wireless light is blinking, skip to the next step to continue installing the software.
  3. Press and hold the printer power button .
  4. While holding down the power button, press the Start Copy Black button two times, then press the cancel button three times.
  5. Release the power button. The wireless light next to the wireless button should blink. Repeat these steps if the wireless light does not blink.
