What a brilliant post. Was stuck on a mx2640 tried the switch procedure and bingo it's sorted. Thanks all for your help
If you have a DSK and need to reset password you may be able to move MFP Board to another machine without a DSK swap PROM then update. This has worked for me on older units like MX-3100. also had to swap memory.
The very small bank of 2 dip switches can be located anywhere on the MFP board. Once located turn off main power, switch switch#1 to on (opposite of it's current setting). When you power back up it will take you directly to the reset SIMM. Execute "password reset" power off, reset switch, power on and your pasword is now back to "admin"
Hi
Really appreciate all the info in this thread on how to set the switched to reset the admin password. So I know this might seem a silly question but can someone please tell me how to actually access the Board itself? I have also had the back of the printer but it isn't located there?
Thanks
