    How do I get into Service Mode on a Canon ir-adv 4525?

    I need to clear the admin password since nobody can tell me what it is, and its not the default.

    Thanks.

      How to clear just the Administrator password.


      Under counter check>device info/other, there are 2 buttons:
      check device configuration and initialize admin password.


      Selecting the Initialize Admin Password button will display a screen similar to a LMS license key.


      Answer :

      Password Initialization Method for administrator password clear only.

      (Procedure)
      1.Notify the dealer or service technician of the device serial number and obtain an LK (license key) from Canon Technical Support @ (800) 528-2830
      2.Select the following in the Local UI (Select [Counter/Device Information] > [Device Info./Other] on the device information screen > [Initialize Admin. Password])
      3.Input the license key you obtained from Canon and press the [Start] button
      (Items initialized)

      😎The default administrator (Administrator) password is initialized to "7654321"
      😀Department ID management is disabled and the System Manager ID and PIN are cleared (made blank)

      (Restrictions)
      👮The license key is issued in LMS, based on the device serial number. The license key is different each time.
      💂License keys can only be installed once.
      👽License keys can be reissued for a device up to 100 times.
      👥*Users should be responsible for strictly managing passwords, and this function should be not be easily provided to the user.
      **Knowledge is time consuming, exhausting and costly for a trained Tech.**

        Thanks, everyone. I ended up calling the service tech who set up the copier for the password. Turns out the default password has been changed by Canon.
