When connecting a network printer password is requested

The printer is designed to print the necessary documents. In general, when operating it, users have no problems, the process of work is described in detail in the instructions. However, to expand the capabilities of the equipment it is necessary to connect to the network. In order to make a network printer, you need to properly log in. All the necessary information can be found in the manual of the equipment. If a password is required during the connection process, many users are wondering where to find it.

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

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

There are several solutions to the problem. First, try to find the requested password and enter it. Do the following:

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

If you find all the necessary data, enter them into the line of the printer connected, after which access to the system should be restored. If this does not happen, contact the service center for help or call the wizard to install.

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