RollingJ Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) There will be, but I have never had a printer that requires password access. Have you tried the manual? Does this help? https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Software-and-Drivers/Admin-Password-Reset-Deskjet-2632/td-p/6689621 Edited June 14, 2020 by RollingJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see if you link does the trick thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteh1 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 It might be the i pad wanting its own password, they do this from time to time, cant you transfer e-mail to another device (phone say) and try to print ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of the iPad wanting its' password, but there again, I have never printed from mine - I always use the laptop for that, although the printer is AirPrint compatible.

silverglade5 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 As you're looking to connect via WiFi, I think what it may be looking for is the router info which should be printed on a small plate somewhere on the back or side of the router. Fields required may be 'Wireless Name' and 'Password' or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarfendor437 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 We have an all-in-one HP printer at work that the i-Pad users have to access. Usually the printer should provide this password which is then entered into the iPad settings - you have to connect to the printer as a separate network as you connect the iPad to the printer as a network connection in itself. You then make sure you never switch off at the wall - or it will ask for the password again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
