I 'lost' the connection between my HP printer (J6480) and in trying to reestablish it I get this message: 'Your wireless router requires a WPA security passphrase. The passphrase configured on your HP printer does not match exactly. Run the wireless network setup to re-enter your wireless network WPA secuity passphrase,'
I have no record of the passphrase. Can anyone help me locate it?
Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
"Passphrase" is another term that is used by some manufacturers for "Password".
This would be the normal "password" that wireless devices use to connect to your wireless network.
Thanks Bob
My problem is I don't recall using a password when setting up the printer (now several years ago). I know the password for the Time machine but that doesn't work so it is something else and I can't figure out what. I have taken some guesses, also to no avail. Is there a way to ferret out the password?

Open keychain in your Utilities folder,it may be in there under passwords.
So long as you know your Mac Admin password you should be able to retrieve your router password if its stored.
Thanks Keith
Did just what you suggested and it turned out to be the password I created to set up the network - no mystery after all.
