FastRAD Password

[bgordon]

I have used the debug procedure to default my RAD. When I use F9** it asks me to enter a password. No matter what password I enter it responds invalid entry. Does anyone know what format the password should be ?

Cheers

After resetting the password and entering F9** again, it should come up and say:

password
Exit Chng Next

Press Chng and enter whatever password you want.

Is it saying that? MRoberts

Thanks for the response.

When I enter F9** is says enter password. It will let me enter up to 9 digits or upper/lower case letters.

I have tried various combinations but they all come up as "invalid entry"

Any ideas ?

You've tried the debugging procedure. Is that resetting the password?

Try the following:
((I know there's a way to do it without changing the date but I don't have the procedure.... someone wanna post it?))

TO LOG ON TO A NORSTAR® RAD WHERE THE PASSWORD IS UNKNOWN.

You can not log onto a RAD without the password. If unknown you must reset the RAD password. There are two ways to do this:

1. One is by opening the unit up and then carefully shorting out the battery on the motherboard of the RAD. This will reset the unit and you will be able to
configure it with a new password and other parameters.

2. The other way is through the following programming instructions

a. Change the date of your Norstar® Key System Unit to the following date. <09-21-99>.
b. enter <Feature 9**>
c. Under your display on the left softkey press it 9 times.
d. Under your display on the center softkey press it 5 times.
e. Under your display on the right softkey press it 7 times.
f. Press the hold button once.
g. Press the dial pad number 2 once.
h. Press the dial pad number 1 once.
i. Press the release button once.

The RAD password is now reset. In RAD programming you can enter a new password. Return to Installer programming and reset you date back to the correct information.

I debugged it in the same way but I used 15/04/99 and left key 5, centre 6 and right 8 then hold, 2, 1.

Both methods default the RAD.

The problem is:

when I enter 9** it asks me to enter a password.
I am sure that it is asking me to create a new password to access the RAD rather than entering a password that is already configured. When I try to enter a password the RAD responds invalid entry as if I was choosing a password that was too long or didn't have letters and numbers for example.

When you changed your RAD password what did you use. I will set mine the same.

That's whats throwing me because once it is defaulted it should give you a chng button underneath where it says password. But if the screen shows:

Enter password:

then we have a problem. My next step would be to unplug the unit and open it up. You'll find a capacitor about the size of 5 quarters stacked. On the back you'll find two metal leads. Lay a screw driver or conductive wire across the two leads and short the capacitor.

Then try the F9** again and hopefully it will show
