What To Do If The Admin Password Has Been Forgotten; Ensuring That The Serial Port Is Available For Other Functions23 - ADDER AdderView Matrix User Manual

What to do if the ADMIN password has been forgotten

If the ADMIN password becomes mislaid or forgotten, you will not be able
to access the AdderView Matrix to add or edit users and computer names.
This situation may be resolved by performing a complete reset to return the
AdderView Matrix to its factory default state.
IMPORTANT: A complete reset erases all the user names and computer
names that you have setup. You can only perform a complete reset if you
have access to both the front and the rear of the AdderView Matrix.
To perform a complete reset and return the AdderView Matrix to its
factory default state:

of the AdderView Matrix (labelled UPGRADE) to the ON (down) position.

reset is taking place.
5 Return switch 2 to the normal OFF position (up).
