    Prescribe Command to reset command center

    I have a customer that the old IT department changed the Command center password on all of the printers. Is there a prescribe command we can send to the printers to reset that back instead of making a couple hour drive to do it on the machine? Printers are FS2100 and P3045

      If this doesn't work, the hotline can write a command to reset the device. We've done that on a couple of occasions. =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          I've tried a lot of prescribe commands. Unfortunately, many of them don't work. I'm assuming that many are model specific and firmware updates may cause them to no longer work?????

              I was playing around with Prescribe/Jar to refresh my memory and I changed the Admin Password to see if sending the Prescribe Command would reset the password. It didn't work.

              But what did work is U021/Initialize Memory. That resets back to the default password. Just be sure to back up the copier settings to a USB because you're gonna lose the address book and other settings.

                  Here's the link to the download but I don't think it's gonna work any better than sending via the Jar Method. I ran most of the scripts that bsm2 posted and only about 2 worked. I suspect they worked at one time but with Firmware upgrades it no longer works. Just a hunch.

                    I downloaded ICLINK and got the same results. Just 2 different ways of doing the same thing. The JAR method is probably easier.

                        Job accounting can be turned off in the Admin mode. or using KMNet viewer.

                          I'll check that out. Thank you.


                          PS - I hate to admit this, but I had changed the Admin username and password, too. I gotta start writing this stuff down. I've been going thru the test commands in the manual one by one and it has gotten to my brain.

                            From my personal collection of solutions.

                            If a customer changes the Administrator password from Admin to something else, and then forgets the password, you can try these methods to reset it.
                            For MFPs;
                            • Log into the machine's “User Login/Job Accounting” function under the system menu with the supervisor account (IE; 4500, 4500 on a TA-4551ci).
                            • From there you can go to “User Login Setting” > “Local User List”.
                            • Select the Admin user and touch the “Detail” button.
                            From this screen you can change the Admin password back to Admin or what ever PW you desire.. You can also create a new user/password combination and assign this new user administrator privileges.
