WPA Password

I am trying to type my WPA password however the HP Officejet 4500 (G510n) does not allow me to type a $. I have went through all the symbols and it covers just about every single one except a $. How can I get this to work?

HI jdk70,
I'm sorry to hear you are having problems trying to get your Officejet 4500 onto your home wireless network.
I have included a copy of a post by Jon-W her on the HP Support Forums, with the relevant section highlighted. I know it talks about a different printer and setting it up on Chromebox but the steps are still the same. This is all done from your computer after resetting the network defaults from the front panel of your printer. This will allow you to input the special character that is in your WPA passphrase. For reference I have also included a link to Jon-W's original post.

Add WPA password to HP Wireless printer on iMac

I have a new (3 months old) and a HP Wireless printer. I did not have security on my wireless network and everything worked fine. Today I added WPA Security and now my printer cant connect to the wireless network. I assume the printer needs the WPA password, but how do I add it?? I tried pushing buttons on the printer but cant find any feature where you can update the wireless network. Do I need to uninstall the printer and reinstall with the new settings? If so, how do I uninstall a printer on my new iMac?
Thank you

Access the HP printers internal web setup, security settings can be modified there.

Leopard won't accept WPA password where Tiger accepted

I've been doing all sorts of diagnostic experiments trying to figure out why I can't wirelessly connect under Leopard using WPA encryption while I was able to do so successfully under Tiger... With Leopard, encryption turned off or WEP encryption works just fine but NOT WPA and that's the encryption I want to use.. I've finally done what I believe to be a consistent and well controlled experiment which is telling me that Leopard will not accept a WPA password that is perfectly acceptable under Tiger... They changed some of the wireless interface gui's between Tiger and Leopard but there is one that appears to be identical between the two and that is the Network Setup Assistant.app that is found (under either Tiger or Leopard) at /System/Library/CoreServices... And I also have a cloned version of my two week old Tiger (10.4.9) system with all my files contained on an external firewire drive. If I boot off that Tiger system and walk through the above mentioned Assistant, when I get to the place where it asks me to enter the WPA password, it accepts that password and moves forward to the next step 100% of the time. I've tried it many times... If I then reboot under Leopard, walk through precisely the same assistant and enter precisely the same password (I've typed it many times, used copy and paste many other times to ensure no typos), instead of connecting I get (100% of the time) a message that says "Sorry, The Password you entered is invalid".... I also notice that it takes a while (maybe 10 seconds) for it to come back with that error for whatever that might be worth... The reason the "100% of the time" above is important is because when I just go to Network in system preferences and walk through that wizard while trying to set up this WPA network, I usually get simply "connection failed" but if I just keep trying eventually it always says it connected (though in reality it never does)... And it never tells me that the password is invalid but this other wizard tells me that 100 % of the time... So when it tells me it connected, I will then go try to connect to a web page and it never works... So why it sometimes tells me it connects I can't say but reality, it never does and now I'm slowly becoming convinced it is because it never accepts my WPA password, never....
So does anyone out there know whether there is some particular format for WPA passwords??? My router is a NetGear WGU624... I've contacted NetGear about this and they are worthless... I might try them again now that I've learned that the password is NEVER being accepted but I don't hold much hope that they can help...
Any ideas about what might be going wrong with passwords under WPA in Leopard???
thanks... bob...

I've been pursuing the same issue for a few days and just found a resolution (but not the root cause). (Same symptoms seen by Jason Guinn's over on http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195706) I upgraded my PowerBook and MBP just fine but my iMac had the problems you and Jason describe.
Dig it. This WPA2 password:
3R3HFVNGxe845xrk
Works for the PowerBook and MBP. But for some reason when I use that password from the iMac, I get the (broken) behavior described. Took my setup to the Genius and he reset my Airport Extreme base station and set the password to:
testtest
And the problematic behavior resolved. I got full bars and was able to ping and browse everything. I have since changed my password to something more secure. My advice is start with testtest and see if the problem resolves. Then experiment with some stronger WPA2 passwords that work for all your systems.
Incidentally, I had similar issues with the wireless on my TiVO when I set it up about six months ago. For some reason their system wouldn't accept the (long) WPA2 password I was using that the time. At that time I configured the shorter one (3R3HFVNGxe845xrk) for the sake of the TiVO. It's so odd that two vendors have had bugs exercised by particular key material. So wierd.

HP 7410 officejet-network wizard does allow me to enter WPA password

I upgraded my old Verizon router to a newer model (actiontec) and it works perfectly with all my wireless devices in the house, except for my printer! The wireless feature on my HP office jet 7410 All in One Printer worked great on my old router. However when I went to re-connect my printer with the new router I was not able to get to the WPA screen to allow me to add my WPA password (from my router.) I saw two other challenges on this forum about not being able to get to the WPA screen on the setup in the wizard. One guy got in and the other didn't (I believe he changed a setting in his router.) Well I'm one of those who didn't and I followed the instructions exactly from the manual. On the set-up button I went to "Network" and clicked on "Wireless setup wizard." I found my SSID and hit ok. I selected my network name and it automatically comes up with "Enter WEP Key". It doesn't offer any choices to go to "Infrastructure" which would allow me to choose WPA. This other guy on the forum had the same problem and someone tried to give him a solution but it didn't work. I reset my factory default, I unplugged the printer for 5 minutes, I even tried to restore my network defaults but nothing worked. It still defaults me to the WEP screen. I did notice when I printed my network configurations that my URL address, IP address, Subnet mask and default gateway were all 0's. I even uninstalled my printer software and re-installed it connecting with a USB to see if it would reset my settings but it didn't. I am at a loss and very frustrated. Please help!

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @hotelexec,
I read through your post about how you're trying to connect to your new router with your Officejet 7410. I could be wrong, but I don't see where you had tried entering your WPA passphrase into the WEP screen that populates. It may not work, however I would suggest giving it a shot to see if it will take your password and connect to the network. I have seen it work before and I'm curious to hear if this will also work for you too!
Let me know what happens!
Have a great Wednesday

I need to find my wpa password on my airport extreme

Since being connected to a different internet provider in Austrailia I can not seem to stay connected to my home wireless internet on my airport extreme.
It continues to ask for my wpa password and I dont remember it. Unless I re-boot my computer I cant seem to go online.
Any suggestions?

If you don't remember the password, you can retrieve it from your Keychain as follows:
Run the Keychain Access utility found in \Applications\Utilities
In the category column (on the left side of the utilities' window), select "All Items."
In the right column look for your Network Name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort network password."
Double-click on your network name listing.
Click on "Show password."
Enter your Mac's administrator's password
Your wireless network's password should now be displayed.

WPA password stopped working for WIFi

This is a weird one. I'm staying at someone's home and using their WFi network with my MBP, iPhone and iPad. Everything has been fine until today. The iphone and iPad continue to work fine, but the MBP no longer connects. Airport now asks for the WPA password but will not accept it - I just get "connection timeout". I'm runnng Snow Leopard. I've seen others in the forum with similar problems, but no solutions. What could be the problem? Nothing has been changed in any settings!
thanks

You're typing in the wrong password or typing it in incorrectly. Ask the someone to verify the password in their router's admin setup. BTW WPA passwords are very weak. Tell them to use WPA2

Why does Mac Mini Server refuse to accept my Airport WPA password?

I've several Macs all able to access my ADSL net connection with no problems. However I am trying to configure a Mac Mini Server to do so but it keeps asking for the WPA password which I've correctly entered.
Any clues for a solution please?
Thanks
Peter

try again. delete the account, and start from scratch. pay real close attention to the password entry, including capitals and any special characters.
At one point i got real frustrated with that same issue. to this day I do not know what the issue was. but i ended up going into my google account from a pc, and changing the password to a new one, then readded the gmail account to the pad and all was well. (you then need to updaye any other devices using the same g mail account)

At switch on it needs a WPA2 and a WPA password every time

Every time I switch on it is not connected to my WiFi and says it needs a WPA2 password which i enter then when I switch on again later it says I need a WPA password which I enter. It's request alternates every time. Very boring!!

    Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode.

Preventing How to Crack a Wi-Fi Network's WPA Password with Reaver

Hello,
Are Cisco AP's vulnerable?
http://lifehacker.com/5873407/how-to-crack-a-wi+fi-networks-wpa-password-with-reaver
Is their a new IOS available to handle this?

You are partly right here George. Granted, Reaver 'only' cracks WPS PINs, but once it has done so you are 'given' the WPA/WPA2 PSK. In a round about way you are ultimately getting your goal, the WPA/WPA2 PSK.
A Reaver attack tutorial/demonstration using the OG150 is now available to download for free! WPA2 PSK WAS CRACKED IN 4 SECONDS!! Download the PDF tutorial from http://www.og150.com/tutorials.php.
Attack was demonstrated on a Linksys WAG54G2 router with v1.00.10 software.

What is the WEP or WPA password, and where can I find it?

I just bought an HP dv9013cl with wireless 802.11a/b/g and I am able to connect to my airport, but after it asks for a WEP or WPA password. What is this password and where can I find it. Thanks for the help.

Goto Airport Admin Utility, click on CONFIGURE. At the top of the screen that opens, click on PASSWORD, you'll see what looks like a lock. A drop down screen will show the Hex WEP password.

WPA password? URGENT HELP NEEDED

hi, i have a black macbook os x and i recently had a new hardrive put in at the panama city, panama macstore.. when i come home after my 10 months there I am asked for a WPA password for my home wireless internet that i before was able to enter without this password with my other hardrive. I have "OUTRESEARCHED" google to find how people get this password and none of the recommendations work for me. its not in my keychain access in utilities, its not on the bottom of my router, and none of the http addresses that it says will load for me. the person who installed our wireless internet said he does not know of this password being created. i am desperate here. please help!!! thank you very very much for anyone who is able to

Hi,
If necessary, you should not have a problem changing the password for the wireless network. Depending upon the exact base station (router) make and model, there should be a way of resetting this device and accessing a setup program/page.

How do you reset the WPA password on Airport Extreme?

Can't remember WPA password or keychain and I'm getting a blinking yellow light on the AE. Need to reset so I can sync my 4Ss. How do I go about this?

Follow the instructions to perform a "soft reset" in this Apple Support Document:

HT4628 How do I find the WPA password, so I can connect NETFLIX?

How do I locate the WPA password to connect to NETFLIX from a SONY Blue Ray DVD Player?

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Click the column headed Kind in the list of keychain items to arrange the list by kind. Look for an item of type "AirPort network password" that has the same name as your network. Double-click that item and check the box labeled Show password. Enter your keychain password (same as your login password) when prompted.

Photosmart wireless printer loss WPA password after turn off

sorry for language, I don't speak a good english
I have a big trouble with my new PHOTOSMART B110a
The printer connecting easily with my router wifi but when I switch off it lost the parameter
every time ai switch on the printer I have to set the wireless setup, selec the ssid and retype the WPA password
is it normal or not?
tanks

Not normal. For right now don't turn your printer off (it goes into an extremely low power mode after a few minutes, anyway). There should be an update that will address this issue soon.
