Q: "how do I remove hackers from my macbook pro?"

I asked this question in detail 3 day ago, and I need help. Macbook pro osx mavericks.. There a phone and printer (unknown) seems to have access to my internet, and I want to know what I can do to get rid of it and a hp printer that keep taking control and won't let me get into my gateway or change the password. It is off now and I have no problems getting in the router. It is a Netgear cox cable 2 in one router, I use cable to hook up to pc and Mac is wifi.

Please if anyone out there knows what i'm talking about, I need advice. It could be my firewall or my cable set up.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6), mid 2011

HP printer read or go thru its menu and there may be an option to password protect the printer. Actually if the printer does connect say by ethernet it can be accessed.

all the time. I have to when my Mac is on because I can't get past the new password, it asks for new password and it's always wrong. Since shutting it down I can change password whenever I want and get through to all the variables.

with the iphone and printer on there, they don't even ask for a password. It immediately sets up with automtic dhcp.
