Wow. This is exciting.
Granted I usually forget my BBox password if I haven't uploaded/connected for awhile so I have my handy dandy password reset thumb drive. Never had a problem like this before.
Today, of course, I wanted to test out a new script I've been working on (laptop is standing in for the BBox right now), but none of the passwords I can remember would work.
So I insert the thumb drive into the USB port on the BBox and power cycle the BBox. That should reset the Password to the Serial # printed on the bottom including the leading zeroes.
Update:
Tried 2 more different thumbdrives.
Tried recreating new password reset files.
0000####_password_reset.txt
Even found where I wrote down the last password I used, but of course it didn't work because Password Reset routine has been run many times today (most likely).
Crazy.
If I can't go wrong, it will for me! LOL
Any other thoughts?
If you're at NAMM and want to wait until next week, that's fine.
I was just hoping to try this new script on the Box, but it can wait.
Well, I’m glad you got it working. Just out of curiosity. I wonder if you erased and reformatted one of you big drive and put the rest file on it, it would work. It is really a mystery why it would work one day on not the next.
