Got my hp wireless printer password reset. Thanks for the help
Pressing the power button for 30 seconds after the printer has been switch off for 2-3 minutes did not help me. My printer starts a normal restart and there is no option to re-setup the new hp wireless printer password. I have tried the same steps more than 5 times and that did not help. Is it because of a different HP printer model i am using? And also i cannot download the software for the website as my internet connection is slow and continuously drops off. Is there a way where i can manually reset the printer password from the printer control panel without going through all this?
