- Press the OK button until you see the network name and password on the LCD screen.
- Press the down arrow button and press the OK button to change the Wi-Fi Direct password.
Note: If you have already connected devices or computers to your product via Wi-Fi Direct, they will be disconnected when you change the password.
- Enter your Wi-Fi Direct password.
Note: Your password must be at least 8 and no more than 22 characters long.
- To scroll through the characters, press the up or down arrow button.
