How to reset a forgotten admin password on a xerox 4150

  • punch46 Oct 02, 2008

    Well actually it wasn't reset , I tried randomly entering 4 digits a number of times and around the 30th or 40th time the digits I entered were accepted as the admin password .. now if I was a mathemetician I could probably work out the odds of this happening. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket ?



    funny how things work out sometimes ?



    thx

Honestly you will have to place a service call to have them reset it.
The default is 1111. But if you changed it and forget it, it will need to have a call to reset it to the default.

Here is the info.

Use the numeric keypad on the Control Panel to enter the default password: [1], [1], [1], [1]. The password will be displayed as asterisks (*) on the Touch Screen.
If you make a mistake, press the [Clear (C)] button and re-enter the password. To cancel the operation, select [Cancel]. If experiencing problems with the password or if the password is forgotten, contact your Administrator. If the Administrator encounters a problem with changing the Access (Tools) code, or forgets the code, Contact Support to place a service call.
1-800-821-2797 is the number

    How did you reset it? Let me know.

  • Anonymous Oct 04, 2008

    Yeah, LOL. I had a customer that called every month when she read the auditron on the machine, Every time she did the readings she somehow changed the password. We honestly never did figure out what was hit to change it.

    Well I have a friend with a PHD in mathematics if you want me to call him LOL. glad you got it ..
