    [Misc] reset admin code mx-2610

    I'm refurbishing an off lease mx-2610, but I'm having issues resetting the admin code back to stock (admin). It isnt working the same as the older mx models. Any tips?

    Have you tried SIM 24-31?

      I forgot to mention that this unit has a DSK. I know, pretty important info when it comes to resetting a password.

        You have to flip a dip switch on a board, then the machine comes up and lets you reset admin code by reformatting. Sorry I don't know exact location on the two tiny dip switches on this machine.

          I believe with the data security kit that you have a real problem there. I dont know that the switches on the mfp board will help. Sorry. When I needed help resetting the password in one of these that was the first question I was asked.

            I figured out what i was doing wrong. Once I reached the screen calibration screen I was hitting all four corners. That over rode the code reset. Thank you all for your help.

              R U serious?!
              Calibrating the screen helped you to reset the admin password?

                When you use the dip switch to reset password there are four small +. One in each corner. If you tap all four it calibrates touch screen. Tap only the left hand ones and code reset.
