Hi,

i got recently a VMX 100 for spare part purpose. Now i have to prgramm the system but nobody knows the login password.
Is there any way to reset the password ?

Best regards

Hallo Stefan

You are right. It has been a very looong time since I tried this!
The RECOMB (RECOMBINE)was in some cases done automatically by the VMX-100. In other cases - as yours - we had to do a @RESTO, and hereafter a @RESTA to get the system up&running again.
I think the only solution (because no service is available on this product anymore) is to swap the OCC to one with a well known password.

Hi doctor,

"I think the only solution (because no service is available on this product anymore) is to swap the OCC to one with a well known password."

I have swaped the OCC already. Now we can proceed to programming the customers related data.

Best regards

Yes, this solution (swapping the OCC) only works, if you have a number of OCC's with wellknown passwords.
So, I would not call this a solution. It is more a work-around!
I am happy, that you got the system up&running.
Pls. also try the @DEX 1, that checks the HHD for bad clusters. It takes a while, but gives you an idea about the quality of the HDD. If the printout shows "000000" ii is OK. If you get numbers in the fields, the the HDD is going defective.
