    [Misc] Konica Bizhub C308 missed serviceman password

    Have a Konica Bizhub C308 that has a missed serviceman password. I'm a self-employed technician from Brazil and don't have Konica's access. Need the step-step and the files to procedure the reset like it's made on C224 models with a firmware reset file.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!!

    graciously,

      This is an imported equipment from the United States and came with the password changed. I am an independent technician and I do not have access to authorized konica in my region ...


      I only need to reset the password to default!

            bsm2, he can't enter CE mode, default pass is changed.

              Go to tech mode, then Stop- 0, if i am not mistaken, or stop- 0- clear. Should display password boxes and you can change it there.

              I'm from.Argentina, and had the same issue. But I am going from memory now.

                Do you think it would help to tell us if you tried the usual passwords? 9272927292729272 or 92729272 or 12345678

                There are firmwares that will cleanse the MFP & SSD boards but not sure if they factory default the passwords?

                  He means a service password, not an administrator password.

                        If such a thing occurs in a Bizhub C224 series, I simply apply the firmware reset (A145FW.TAR) and the CE Password goes back to the default. I believe there must be something similar for the Bizhub C308 series!

                          I have a Bizhub C308 reset file (a789be.tar) but it dosen't work. I think I need some files more!

                            Yes, you can change the service password in service mode. BUT, if you can't get into service mode because you don't know the password, how do you propose to make that change?

                              you might get lucky by booting into trouble reset, hit it, then try the default logon sequence and password.
                              We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
                              The medication helps though...
