    I had this happen on an mxm564. Sharp's fix was to back up all user data, replace HDD, update firmware, and reload user data.

    If you don"t have the admin password, you will have to send the IC chips back to sharp for destruction and replacement.

    I had this happen to a 2640 last week. We had to replace the hard drive and there was nothing left in the old one to copy from so had to start from scratch on the address book.

    admin pw reset is one of the two micro dip switches on the mfp pwb, one takes you to screen calib and the other allows you in admin and service pw reset. the mx3070 series started the no admin reset trend.
    Where the heck is my spring hook?

    Yes, turn off mfp, flip dip-switch, then power on and execute.
