    This will not work if there is a DSK installed.

    Depending on the machine you may have to call Sharp on the newer machine it is actually hidden in the simulation mode and you have to mess with the dip switches to get it to appear. It is on the webpage of the machine but you have to know the previous password.

    Re: Admin Password reset

    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.

    Turn off main switch
    Switch DIP switch back to down position

    Turn on.

    boom!

    I would highly recommend that you do not attempt this procedure if you are not familiar with with the Board configuration.

    I might as well attempt it as its next to useless and will end up being scrapped.

    Re: Admin Password reset

    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"

    Re: Admin Password reset

    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

    The board is on the left side of the machine (lots of clips and one screw at the front to remove the cover).
