When I click on the wireless icon and then the settings button to turn it on as it says it is OFF, I then press wireless settings and then the wireless tab that is grayed out and that's where it says it is locked.
To unlock it, it requires a username and password. When I put in my HP Smart username & password, it says it is incorrect

From my computer, I can access my HP Smart account. However, it cannot read the new printer since the printer is not able to connect to the wifi. I can't connect the printer to the wifi since it is locked.
Understood, thank for the details!
