    Unknown tech mode password

    I've got a new customer with a bh420 which had its tech mode password changed and I have no idea what it is. I've tried the usual ones and the variations I could think of without success.

    Is there any way of removing/changing the tech rep password without resorting to reseting the nvram?

    And if I need to do it, is there any way of getting my hands on a adjustment list so I can reintroduce everything back?

    Thanks.

    I remember also that a internal tech from konicaminolta told me that is possible to swap the nvram between the 420s. Maybe using a "working" nvram you can print what you need..(not sure of where the settings are stored).
    Do your customer use Mozilla Firefox? This browser has a way for store pw and is possible to see the list..if someone has registered the pw and you are very lucky you can find the missed pw...

    i believe if you display the trouble reset screen and then do the stop 00 stop 01. it will take you directly to tech mode without the PW

    Thank's a lot, Pepper! That was it indeed!

    I'll give you some rep later on, since the forum won't let me do it right now!

    Cheers!
