Hi @Micha211
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
To better assist you -
1) Have you tried your router's password?
2) Can you please send us a picture of the screen asking you to enter the password?
If the Wi-Fi password does not work, this could be the Wireless Direct password. Let's try these steps -
Step 1 Try the default password - 12345678.
If the default password does not work, please print a Network Configuration page and look for a Wi-Fi or a Wireless Direct password.
Step 2 To print a Network Configuration page - From the printer control panel, press the Wireless button and the Information button together to print the network configuration page.
Note - The Wi-Fi or Wireless direct will connect the devices that you are trying to print from to the printer's Wi-Fi instead of your home Wi-Fi and due to that you will have to keep switching from your home Wi-Fi to your printer's Wi-Fi.
You can connect the printer to your home Wi-Fi by following these simple steps -
1) Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer for more than three seconds to start WPS push mode. The Wireless light starts blinking.
2) Press the WPS button on your router.
NOTE: THE MOMENT YOU PRESS THE WIRELESS BUTTON ON YOUR PRINTER, WITHIN 30 SECONDS YOU SHOULD PRESS THE WPS BUTTON ON THE ROUTER.
