Put alphabet into supervisor password through WIM.
Download to SD card.
Open NVram with notepad or word pad.
Compare old to new and you can't miss the differences.
That is how I got the key.

Why do they call it common sense?
If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?
Thanks for the post Genius
You never realize how cheap a professional is until after you let an amateur do it.

Are you able to verify that it is still in there? It's a very large guide, and I'd hate to search the whole thing for nothing...
Update: I searched it, found something listed under an old model, a combination that I've not seen before, I doubt that's it. I did see one that I had not heard about before; it was listed multiple times in the guide. Might just have to try those two and see what happens...

Can this method be used to Reset the counter to 0?
We currently replace the NVram on our Ricoh Gold approved refurb's in order to reset the counter.
NVram's are costly also, so it would be a real treat for my boss if I can cut this cost out.
Before anyone says anything.
The counter is reset to allow our customers to have a refurbished machine and to accurately monitor their usage. We do not try and hide the original (physical) counter upon resale.
Thanks
I agree and I do keep a record of the original counter/smc in my service department, but zeroing is not my decision. I think it's more a case of a customer receiving a refurbed machine then turning round to us and saying 'OI this has done 200K, I thought this was meant to be good as new! I don't care that these machines can do way more than 200K, I want a brand new refurbished machine!!!!'
If someone can't identify the true counter then they can be easily ripped off by any clued up dealer. zero counter or not.
Thanks for the reply.
thanks alot guys. I wasnt able to rewrite the nvram but I did manage to decode the superviser name and password and admin name and password.
