When connecting to a network printer, you are asked for a password

The printer is designed to print the necessary documents. In general, users do not encounter any problems when using it; the operating process is described in detail in the instructions. However, to expand the capabilities of the equipment, it must be connected to the network. In order to make a network printer, you need to log in correctly. All necessary information can be read in the equipment operating manual. If you are required to enter a password during the connection process, many users wonder where to find it.

How to find out the password if the printer asks for it when connecting

Until the password is entered, the operation of all connected devices will be suspended.

REFERENCE! If the printer is for personal use this does not pose a big problem, but in office work this situation can create serious difficulties.

There are several options to solve the problem. First, try to find the requested password and enter it. Follow these steps:

1. Inspect the body of the equipment; manufacturers supply the device with special stickers or seals indicating an access code or key.
2. Please read the instruction manual for this equipment. The connection method and the requested data should be described there.
3. If documents have been lost or the sticker on the case has been erased, you can use the system settings to find passwords.
4. In the search bar of the main menu, enter the phrase “View network connections.” After this, select the item you need from the proposed list of networks and go to the “Status” item.
5. In the dialog box that opens, find the “Security” line and make the password visible to the user by clicking on the show hidden characters button.

If you find all the necessary data, enter it in the line of the connected printer, after which access to the system should be restored. If this does not happen, contact the service center for help or call a technician for installation.

How to create a user when connecting a printer to a network

After successfully completing the instructions and gaining access to a network connection, you can use the user creation function to register and quickly access the program's capabilities. Also, creating a new user can solve the access problem if entering a password does not help. You can do this as follows:

1. Go to the printer and network connection settings. In the user window, delete old data, register a new user using the changed parameters.
2. Save any changes you made, then restart your computer. After some time, activate the devices and reconnect using the new user data.

In addition, it is recommended to edit input settings from other paired devices through a special program for the local group. Disable login from the previous version of your account.
