Hello,
Prior to posting this, I had searched through the Ricoh forum on here to find any info I could on a problem I'm having; however I'm not having much luck nailing it down. My apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere.
We have several Ricoh MP C4000 (C4000 and C4501) series copiers where the admin & supervisor passwords have been set and long forgotten. To avoid the "red tape" and headache of replacing the NVRAM on all units, I've been trying to find a workaround to reset the passwords(or machine) to default.
Ive tried entering SP Mode to clear all the memory--no luck (assuming because the passwords are on the NVRAM). Can't get in from the device itself nor the web console. I stumbled across this post and wondered if it may be what I'm looking for. seems like it. Before I attempt it, does anyone know if this will indeed work for my device(s)? If not, does anyone know of any other methods i should try?
Perhaps I should just move the copiers under a leaky pipe and collect insurance?
Before I resort to locating the plumbing schematics of my building, can anyone help me? Any help is appreciated!
