Need to know how to get the password to my printer. Started the printer up yesterday and now it’s saying I need a password for the WiFi to printer. Don’t remember putting a password in for the WiFi to print

Hi @Beckett2001,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If you have forgotten the password for your HP printer's Wi-Fi Direct or wireless network connection, you can try the following steps to retrieve or reset it:

Steps to Retrieve or Reset HP Printer Wi-Fi Password:

Retrieve Wi-Fi Direct Password (if using Wi-Fi Direct):

• On the printer's control panel, go to Setup > Network Setup > Wi-Fi Direct Settings.
• Look for the option to view the Wi-Fi Direct name and password. It might be listed under Wi-Fi Direct Status.

Print Network Configuration Page:

• Many HP printers allow you to print a network configuration page that includes network details.
• On the printer’s control panel, go to Setup > Reports > Network Configuration Report or a similar option.
• Look for the network settings on the printed page to find the Wi-Fi Direct password.

Reset Network Settings:

• If you cannot retrieve the password, you can reset the network settings to restore the default Wi-Fi Direct password.
• On the printer’s control panel, go to Setup > Network Setup > Restore Network Settings or Restore Network Defaults.
• After resetting, reconnect your devices to the printer using the default settings.

Check Printer Manual:

• Refer to your printer’s user manual for specific instructions on how to find or reset the Wi-Fi password. The manual may include model-specific information.

Access Printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS):

• If your printer is connected to your network, you can access the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to find or reset the Wi-Fi Direct password.
• Find the printer’s IP address by printing a network configuration page.
• Enter the IP address into a web browser to access the EWS.
• Look for Wi-Fi Direct or network settings to view or reset the password.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
