Finding previous tech SP access code

Re: Finding previous tech SP access code

Sorry so I'm just reading this again now and you mean the actual code just to get into SP mode (8****2)
I honestly didn't even know you could change that... I can't see myself ever doing that unless some idiot customer googled it and figured out how to get into sp mode so they could 'have a play around' but nearly 9 years in the game never had anyone do that so far

Or a tech from a competitor gets it from one of the threads here where some idiot has posted it in plain text and sabotages your machine.

Re: Finding previous tech SP access code

You would have to be really low to do that. I mean surely you would have to go into your competitors customers office, pretend you have a legit reason to be using their machine, wreck it, then leave in the hopes they can't fix it. So then your sales guy can say these guys suck let us sell you a machine, then you show up to service it and they say 'wait a minute you are the guy that ruined our old machine'
Can't say I would do it, for a start morally and secondly so risky if you were found out.
Has this happened to you?

Re: Finding previous tech SP access code

We have clients who for security reasons set admin and supervisor passwords, changing them regularly, and have also insisted on a non-default SP mode, so there can be valid reasons to change it. We just don't do it on a whim.

And, no, we have never had a known case of sabotage.

I have seen instances where Susie Q's boy friend has worked for a competitor.

Re: Finding previous tech SP access code

I mean we have one of the worst competitors ever, our ex 2 best sales guys, built up their own company while still working for us, sneakily signing all the deals over the their company, they had our entire database and really done us over. It was only by luck, 1 of them drunkenly emailed our boss about something, except he did it from his secret copmany email address. It only took 10 minutes to put 2 and 2 together then but huge damage was done. They have relentlessly been trying to steal our customers since, that was about 3-4 years ago and they still do it. They are the only people I could imagine sending engineers to mess up our machines and even then I'm pretty sure I'd catch them out. Anyway i'll shut up now, I've driven the conversation away from resolving the problem at hand.

Guys the problem is that the SP to dump NVRAM data is not available in Factory mode. Thats why we need an EEPROM reader.

Interesting, I honestly never looked. I knew some SPs were not accessible in Factory mode but never bothered to take a comprehensive survey of which ones,

Re: Finding previous tech SP access code

Hi all
Im looking for some advice/help
i have a few ex lease MPC5504ex that have service lock enabled and have had both supervisor and admin passwords changed and iam unable to get this information from them
i want to data dump the nv to see if i can edit the passwords and gain access to the machine
i have a machine that ive cleared passwords in sp mode so i can back up that nv to sd card and use that as my guide to what i need to edit

so advise
what is a good eprom reader and program to use to read then write back to the nv
i HxD to edit the file is that ok

when nv uploaded to sd from machine i get xxxx.nv file
when using a reader on nv chip i get xxxxx.bin file
does this cause any issue?

Thanks in advance for any advice

This is Only To Allow Me To Gain Access to The Machine's via supervisor or admin password change
