Hello,

 

I guess you are trying to reset the wireless network password, if so, then you may have to contact your internet service provider or go through the manuals that came with the router / modem.

The HP Envy 5530 is connected to the computer by cable. The password has nothing to do with the router. It is for connecting my iphone to the printer by wifi. The password is only for the printer is different than the one for the router.

Hello,


On the home screen of the printer, on the top row, locate for Wrench icon, and then touch the icon ( wireless direct ) that is right to it.
Printer would display Wireless Direct Menu.
Touch on "Display Password" to obtain the password.
