Are you referring to the MFPB reset tool? If so, the Color 'e' and Color non 'e' tool is the same.

^{92729272 instead of try 9272927292729272 or even 9272 once i have seen alot of techs set this that way}

You need to get a code and supply it to km who will give you a unlock code
This will reset the CE password

What ive done in past is dodgy but works
Open side door and unplug fuser
Enter service mode password screen
Close side door and wait for error
Press menu
You should now have skipped the password screen and be in
You will have to do this each time you neef service mode

Thank you for the advice
i have tried all combos of the default password
had a go with unplugging the fuser but still asks for password
i will try the reset tool

its possible firmware patched that. last time i tried it was on a not e model
ill try again in office if i get it to work ill record the process for u

ive never used the reset tool. in past ive had to enter service mode then do a stop sequence of numbers that brings up a reset screen. you then quoted the code to KM who would supply the reset code. once you input the reset code it sets it to factory default

the code is only valid for 24 hours tho

if i can get into service mode you can go into enhanced mode an reset the ce password

nah because it asks for the password again before it lets you reset it
