    I think if you have MKM account, you can issue reset code through LMS and input it on the machine. There is procedure atleast cuz I haven't done it yet.

        Don't have a Konica account. Machine is located in a local Church. Looking for a charitable soul that can help.

          When you are in service mode then press stop + C will see a code for reset service password in infohub service license after that in service mode you can change the admin password .

                  Your only option is to call Konica to get a rest code.

                  Or if you know the previous owner/copier company who maintained the machine contact them.

                    Thank you. I was afraid of that. Are the reset codes machine specific?

                      did you try 9272 twice instead of 4 times?
                      We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
                      The medication helps though...

                        I would call the dealer that sold you this and have them reset the device. Once you've lost or forgotten the CE password you are can't do much of anything. I think an SSD board might correct this, but you can't get them w/o a tech opening a ticket. E

                            What about 12345678 once both for admin and SM, I change mine (because the defaults are just unnecessary).

                            But yeah.. everything else has pretty much all been said. I would contact whoever the Church got this from and give them the what for, because eventually it will become nothing more than parts or a boat anchor. Depending on the time frame of the purchase, the church could consider legal action?

                            If all that fails, go watch the film Pi to induce a mind-numbing-aneurysm in the endeavor of finding the mathematical name of God.
