    [Misc] Reset account passcode entry

    I have a customer whom purchased a Sharp ar-m277 from an out of business sale. When it is powered on, it is asking for a five digit account number that no one knows.

    Is there a backdoor I can use or can I reset it to factory defaults?

    Sim 22-7 will show you the current key operator code (5 digit number), change it at will after you get it.

      Try 00000, that is the default administrator code. There is a way to reset the default code as well in simulation mode.

        Typically 24-30 is the admin password reset code, but I don't believe that was on any of the ARM machines.

          Sim 22-7 would be better, why try anything else? besides the machine only asks for acct pass.
