Mircos E7 config lockout

[marc m]

I entered the wrong password and now I'm locked out of my configurator on a Micros e7
will this reset on it own after time or is there a back door fix?
I have tried the change the value fix from 0 to 6 but it dose not load all the way
gives me a message saying "need to program a sign in for this work station"
I have never been locked out of the boc config like this and now
I'm panicking as the holidays are here and i need to turn on menus
any suggestions that might work
It's old but it works

To get back into Configurator:

On the server close e7 completely and then navigate to My Device\MICROS\e7\Cfg

Open e7Config.txt. You should see this line:

< add key="UwsObjectNumber" value="0" />

Change it to:

< add key="UwsObjectNumber" value="6" />

Save the file and relaunch e7. You're going to get a lot of errors and warnings; ignore them, and just keep clicking ok.

In the top dropdown, the one on the left you use to choose to edit your menu, employees, touchscreens, etc, open employees. Find your account on the list, and go to the security tab. Uncheck account disabled. Check update enchanted security and then set yourself a new password. Save it and then close e7 again.

Reopen e7Config.txt and change the line back so that value="0" again. Save and close the file and relaunch e7. You should able to login again. If it warns about a database mismatch, go into. Manager procedures. Select workstations, and then click on your workstation. Once it's select, click retrieve newer definitions, which will sync the server and workstation back up.


Just make sure to do the update enchanted security thing and change your password next time it tells you your password is expiring or you'll get locked out again.
