Printer rejects the WPA password

My HP Envy 4500 worked very well without any hiccups until three days ago, when she refused the WPA password he used throughout.  I checked that the password still works with my other devices by making them forget the network, then join.  No problems.  But the EXACT SAME password doesn't work on the printer anymore.  Again, I insist on the fact that he works for a few months.

I restarted the printer, restarted my computer and my router.  No joy.

I tried to manage the printer of the 192.168... address, but it does not connect.

I am running Windows 8 on a laptop Samsung and have two phones and an iPad Mini running off of the network.  The router is provided by Shaw (internet provider) and shows that all systems OK.  I have no problems with wireless access on any other device.  Kapersky doesn't show any malware.

What should I do now?

I spent the better part of the day trying to understand the same problem and then noticed when you go to enter the WPA password, which is the same that the network key that you use to connect to other devices to your router, the printer was automatically his debut with a space at the beginning where you enter the password.  I finally understood how to get rid of this extra space at the beginning.

-Put your first letter/number/symbol of your password in

-Press the arrow curved to the left on the face of the printer - move your first character back to the position it is.

-Press the right arrow to the right on the printer face - this will move the cursor to the next position

-complete the entry of your password

Now, he needs to connect - the extra space at the beginning was originally passphrase wpa message incorrect for me.

I also had to switch my router WPA2 to WPA security.

FYI - my printer is HP Officejet 4500 Wireless

  • What is the WPA password?

    I'm trying my hp 6520 PHOTOSMART e-ALL-IN-ONE SERIES connect wireless to my MacBook. When I press Assistant to Setup wireless on the Panel of the printer, it brings my VodafonePocketWifi device and then asks for a WPA password. What is this and where can I find? Thank you.

  • access code will work no - has rejected the correct password, deleted the data

    Hi people

    Had a problem with the iPhone OS 9.3.1 (6 s)

    The password was rejected, even if she did the same every time: it worked randomly.  This question has followed a request to change the password to another.  I put in an alphanumeric password with a special character, as he refused to let me use the previous password.

    I tried to change the password but failed at each point and wouldn't let me delete the iPhone either.  He decided to spontaneously clear the data while it was in my pocket.

    I restored the iPhone and will monitor.

    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and it could be a virus or something.  Could it be spyware? Or simply corrupted software?

    Your thoughts appreciated

    Unless your phone has been jailbroken (and I doubt it was) it wouldn't get a virus.

    It's a working phone? Is there an exchange account or an email from work?

    The request came via a pop-up of Safari?

    If the request came from Safari, I would follow the steps below. If it's a working phone that I would like to talk to your people in TI.

    Close Safari completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the preview pane of Safari until it disappears from the display. You may need to search the Safari part covering scribbles to the left. Then go to settings > Safari > clear the history and data from the Web site. Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I can't find the patch file for an update of the WPA password. Someone help me with this? Any help or clarity is appreciated. Maybe I'm going the wrong way? Thank you

    I use an old Dell XP Home Edition with SP2 preinstalled.  2 days ago at home, this laptop recognized and connected my network home wireless (802. 11 g Linksys). Today, at work, while sitting next to a wireless router, nothing (Mac Airport Extreme).  I use a Belkin Wireless card.  I'm not sure of the model of wireless card.  Laptop is older and I am afraid to remove the card, but I will if necessary.  Belkin Tech offers a WPA Librarians dwnld password to update my XP Op sys. She said that this update would allow my Sys OP to recognize an encrypted router WPA-2, which is how my work router is encrypted.

    HI Captben,

  • I lost my password for E2000 (not the WEP key or the WPA password)

    Well, the computer on which I got cisco connect crashed. I got a new computer and I am trying to install Cisco connect using the downloaded version and I can't install it because he wants the password of the router, which I do not know. It's because I lost the copy of CD of Cisco connect. I tried to reset the router itself by pressing the Red reset button, which is not good. I'm looking for any solution. It's a Linksys E2000 and I think that the password is initially by default (random, I know that much)

    Rule the 30-30-30 reset.

    Hello

    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

  • Correct procedure to change the Windows password

    This is similar to the post http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board=SpecialInterestsUtilities&message=3111&query.id=101... but I'm not looking for a workaround solution. I'm looking for the right way to avoid the problem.

    When I changed my Windows password in Windows and restarted, the first thing he did was ask me after that I spent my finger. He said that he wanted changed in the security of the client system. I entered the password and it erased, and then connected. After the start, another window pops up asking my Windows password for the security solution client. I entered, but this was rejected. I tried again, rejected. I tried again using any password that I use. All rejected. Maj CapsLock and numlock off the coast.

    Fortunately, I was able to cancel out of it. I changed my password to the original and then restarted. The same claims were held, but he agreed the old passwords. I am in control, but with my original password. Phew!

    Then... What is the correct way to do it? Client security rejects the new password. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    I found a solution in case anyone else comes across this. It may be the best or only one, but it worked...

    (1) disable Security TPM. Do the reset, etc.

    (2) use the control panel Windows users to change your password.

    (3) turn on the TPM secure. Do the reset and the new password asked a couple of times.

  • OfficeJet PRO 8600: Reset the administrative password on an Officejet PRO 8600

    I lost a large part of the contents of a Mac 4 years when an electrical short burned inside in a way that Apple could not determine the cause. The end result is that I found that the administrative password for my 8600 died with the old Mac that I have been unable to recover the keychain that had all the information a password in it. I wish now that more importance was pointed out in the instructions when passwords have been set up, on the future need for them to use as many important features of the printer.

    I would appreciate much all guidanc I can get in how to reset the administrative password of my 8600.

    Hi @Redwoc,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you are trying to reset the administrative password for your HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I'm happy to help you!

    You can do a reset of the printer using the LED screen on the printer. Select Configuration, then Tools, then restore the default settings. "Restore default settings" is the last element of the list, and then you must scroll down to see it.
     
    This clears all the settings of the printer, including the administrator password.

    I hope this helps!

  • Had to go to the WPA to get connection Nook. Now the laptop will not connect.

    Newly acquired Nook Color would not recognize connection WEP. So I spent the Bureau for the WPA. Now laptop said little or no connectivity. Can the corners as well and portable live in this environment? If so, how?

    It's a good thing.  WEP is near useless for what is security is these days.

    Connect to a router, or using ad hoc wireless to share the Internet connection belonging to the office?

    Most wireless routers require that all devices use the same encryption level.  Some newer routers can allow a mixture of WPA and WPA2, but as far as I know, none allow the WEP and WPA at the same time.  If you use a wireless adapter in the Office for an ad hoc wireless network, I'm sure that without these adapters allow the WEP and WPA.

    Change your laptop in WPA too.

    You may need to remove the connection recorded first in order to make this change. Assuming you use Windows to configure the adapter to the laptop wireless (and more far assuming that the laptop is running XP sp2 or greater), the procedure is as follows:

    • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
    • Right click on the wireless adapter icon and select Properties
    • Click the "Wireless Networks" tab
    • Select your network wireless from the list of "Preferred networks", then click on the button Delete
    • OK your way out

    Now find your wireless network in the list of available wireless networks, click connection and enter the WPA password when you are prompted.

  • How to change the encryption type M252dw printer WPA2 (WPA - PSK) for the WPA used by the router?

    We had to change the type of encryption on our WPA2 WiFi router (LAN setup origin, on which to install and successfully used our M252dw printer) and use simple WPA, to solve some other problems of connectivity.

    NOW, the HP printer, we have (M252dw) apparently does not automatically reset the encryption type.

    Apparently, he has no way to automatically start "from scratch" when connecting to the new configuration of router.

    Even with ALL the rest on the LAN works fine and speaking well, including WiFi laptops and smart phones, the HP printer sees the new name of WiFi SSD connects to the router in order to attempt a connection, accepts the new password WPA, but RETAINS THE WPA - PSK PARAMETER OF CONFIGURATION PREVIOUS.

    We know, because after that the printer fails to connect, print the network SHOWS Test report this known problem in the paragraph of the resolution of the problems, but worthless advice said to "run the setup of wireless network for re - enter your network WPA wireless security password. The WPA authentication on your HP printer has been changed from the default setting. This can cause problems connecting to your wireless network, if your wireless router does not use the same breed of WPA authentication.

    Well, DUH.

    Mind you, there is NOTHING in the post above that says:
    1) go to "this" menu item.

    2) click "this" option to change the encryption method.

    (3) select the method (SSID, WEP, WPA, WPA2) that corresponds to your router.

    ... because... There seems to be NO option ANYWHERE in ANY menu that offers this choice.

    HE DIDN'T THERE HAS NO BUTTON, OPTION, SELECTION, OR ADVICE IN THE MANUAL TO RESET OR CHOOSE WPA!

    There is a checklist wonderfully unnecessary, repeated throughout your manuals and on the site, basically saying

    ' Check the type of printer encryption (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.) corresponds to the router.

    Well well... What do you do when you KNOW that it IS NOT?

    Thanks to try at least, I appreciate it.

    Unfortunately, it did not work;

    but it leads to find the answer for later use.

    Summary -

    After selecting
    Printer flow treatment and deleted the saved connection data, an IPv4, subnet mask and default gateway address (router address IPv4) and IPv6 turned power on.

    Then... I did this:

    (1) Went back to and IPv6 turned to back, leaving only ON IPv4.

    2) went back to and returned once again the preferred settings.
    Address: 192.168.254.250

    Mask: 255.255.255.0

    Default gateway: 192.168.254.254

    3) reinforced by the "Wizard" where he immediately found the SSID of the wireless router.

    (4) select the SSID of the router

    (5) when it is asked for the password (which is actually just a 'word' with WPA pass) I got that.

    (6) given the printer attempts to connect and failed.

    WPA - PSK same listed, even noted on the test report from network once more.

    Therefore, no chance after Restore Defaults.

    It really would have been nice if HP had made sure this option actually actually reset * ALL * default settings, including the wiping WPA2 security type.

    (Just for reference, the DHCP range is set to 192.168.254.15 - 192.168.254.47, so that the fixed IP addresses assigned, like this printer, you can assign DHCP to be defined to ensure no changes outside.

    This printer is the FIRST device assigned a fixed IP address, to make sure that nothing else can come into conflict with the IP address and eliminate it as a cause as possible.)

    OK - so after your suggestion, I am inspired to re - enter the menu and look at it again.

    I had already looked through what I have and not able to find the submenu I thought that has been included by HP...

    .. .or I would expect a user was manually choose method/type of security encryption (SSID, WEP, WPA, WPA2)

    .. .or at least handed to "REMOVE/RESET/nothing: Please ask the next router you are trying to connect to use"

    One thing I found there is the option that resembled what I wanted now:

    That seemed to be the best thing after trying to 'Network Defaults' so I did.

    Then did a not through all the steps above, 1-6...

    * SUCCESS *.

    ALSO: The printer is already running on each PC had to be "retired" in Windows

    -According to the right

    -Then follow up

    -Waited for printer not found, click it, and then select

    Thank you HP - I just needed to find out who Reset was correct.


    Now - I humbly suggest stating that in the manual.

    Under the line "Verify encryption type corresponds to router", you could add something simple like:

    "IF it isn't, then select and your printer will automatically ask the next router you are trying to connect with and correspond to this type of encryption."

    Which erases all settings, including the password for the printer.

    To reset you describe is probably the one mentioned in this article:

    but it's probably a deeper reset that you really need anyway.
