MX3140 password reset

[Leebs14]

Hi everyone, we’ve got an issue where we’ve inherited a MX3140 but whoever looked after it in the past has changed the Administator password to something unknown.

we backed everything up and ran a 62-8, clear HDD apart from system area but that hasn’t worked.

if we change the SD Card, will that sort it?

aby ideas people please??

You can use the password reset switch on the MFPB, see: Admin password reset Sharp MX2650 for a picture of the switch.

Excuse us fellahs, but what did you have to do after switching switch no1 up - could you use SIM24-30 again?

I've just noticed that the switch we found was SW3 and not SW1 anyway which we can't find at all.

Here is SW3: https://www.berkshire-computers.co.u...es/3071pcb.JPG

SW2 is top right, where is SW1 on a 3071 - does anyone know?

Sharp removed the SW for the later models, you either have to request a PW reset code from Sharp; or, do a Storage Backup from another device (admin password is stored within).
