Wireless password

[Dmn151]

I have tried several attempts to hook up this printer wirelessly with no luck! What is the password? I have tried my wireless router password, I have made up a password, I typed any and every thing. Can someone else help! I am using my iPhone 6 no laptop here. Thank you

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this.
