Just installed a new wifi router and wifi name/password.
Tried to change settings on printer to new wifi but when I click on the Wifi Set up Wizard I get a message saying 'this featuer has been locked by the person who set up the printer' That was me, I didn't...
Any thoughts? Shouldn't really require a message to support for something so trivial

Hi @SimianWatching,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
We need to perform a Semi full reset to restore the printer back to its original settings.
The reset instructions are specific to your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.
I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

I have a HP Smart Tank Plus 555 Printer and am having the same problem to connect it to Wifi because I have been sent a new router. Managed to get the laptop and android connected but so far not the printer.
As a different problem, sometimes when I go to use the printer, when I try to print it doesn't, I go to settings and I am told that the printer is offline. The only thing I can do is start the printer troubleshooter to go through the problem, usually it works after that. Is there an easier solution to that as well since I am asking about the router and wi fi problem. Thanks in advance
