I have solution !!! You must turn up player!!!
then TURN ON WHILE HOPLDING PLAY BUTTON !!!!!!!

Then a screen goes on !!!!
You must choose CLEAN UP THEN REBOOT !!!

I had the same problem, and i solved it by reloading the firmware. u do it like this:

  • Press and hold the Play button while powering on your player.
  • When the player displays the Creative logo, release the Play button

  • Select Reload OS/ Firmware. U will need to download the firmware from creative's download section so u can put it back into the Zen.

    How to off restrict volume

    Hi Cherry - that's not too hard.

    Restricting volume (password protected) is done through Creative Media Lite software.
    How to use Creative Media Lite

    After protecting the Volume Restriction settings with a password, the same password is required for subsequent changes.

    If you forget your password, reinstall your ZEN Neeon 2 firmware. You can download it from Creative Worldwide Support ZEN Neeon 2

    I forgot my password too but i don't want to reverse it i want to take it off!

    * Turn the volume down to 0
    * Change to a blocked channel (where it asks for V-Chip password)
    * On the TV (not from the remote) hold the volume down button
    * (While holding volume on TV) hold the '0' key on the remote for between 2-10 seconds...
    * The screen should unlock, and you should save no V-Chip restrictions.
    You can now use your manual to find out how to set the restrictions you want."

    How to break volume restriction password ZEN XFI 2 ?

    Boot the ZVM into Recovery Mode and select Cleanup from the menu. This will reset any user defined settings, including the passwords.
    To boot the player into Recovery Mode, do the following:
    1. Insert a paperclip, earring stud, or other slender, unbreakable item into the reset hole located at the bottom of the player to press the reset button inside. You should feel a "click" when you've pressed the button. Press and hold the reset button.
    2. While holding the reset button, slide the power switch toward the power icon and hold it there. Let go of the reset button.
    3. When the Zen bootscreen appears, release the power switch.

    Hi you will have to format your player and reinstall the firmware so the player will be like it was from the factory. That will wipe on the password you set and you can just reset it to what you want.

    How to reset code for powering off restrict volume on my creative zen neeon 2

    Here is a quicker solution if you have already chosen Europe?

    Well, thanks to my investigations I have found there is a solution. Pressing reset will not work and installing new f/w is a pain.

    Instead, open your S9 system folder, and simply delete the "PARAM" file. Power off. Power up. (There is no need to change firmware at all).

    You are back at the original screen. 1. Choose your language. 2. Next DO NOT CHOOSE THE EUROPE setting. 3. Third, choose your radio setting - any will do.

    Volume too low on zen

    Try going to System>Audio Settings>Restrict Volume on your ZEN. This is a password protected feature for parental controls i guess... If this doesn't work, get a hearing aid : )
