Password Recovery using the serial Port SX80

[Lawrence James]

Is there a Password Recovery or Factory Reset procedure for the SX80 CODEC? I have tried the power button 5 sec/10 sec/press twice sequence without success. Read the steps - followed the steps - Watched the video followed he video. It just isn't working for me.

I have a serial connection and can watch the boot process. Is there a break sequence or command that can be used to force a factory reset?

Try the following procedure in thread password-recovery, with the factoryreset user.

Thanks - not sure why this didn't come up for me when I search for just every term and phrase associated with serial password recovery

 thank ill see if it works

Even though these do not say for the SX80 I tried them all and still no joy.

Those steps are for TC software, which the SX80 can run, so they should still be valid options.  What software version is the SX80 running?
