Unlock Microtech LT10S

[CHB]

i am about to purchase a 2nd hand Microtech LT10S but the owner forgot what password he set few years back. now he can't unlock it. is there any master key that we can enter to unlock it?

[CrUZida]

Microtech will be able to unlock it for you, probably a charge of $50 or so.

Does the manual state how to unlock it?

sent back to microtech SA will takes time. i'm thousands miles away from there

just wondering if there is some sort like "master key" where we can reset it?

As CrUZida noted only Microtech or one of their agents would be able to unlock it, for obvious reasons

Have you tried just entering 0000 as that is the default code and he may have locked it but not entered his own code meaning it would still be 0000, unlikely but worth a try.

or 1234

or 8008......


... ok im just kidding.

[CrUZida]

8086 ?

Is there a hard reset jump somewhere?

[inertia]

or connecting certain pins together for a period of time?

[abently]

I suspect there would be, but I don't think it would be marked.....either that or just a back up battery to clear memory. You would have to open it to see for yourself though.

If the total cost is minimal then just let Microtech do it.

Youll probably delete the maps to if you do a hrad reset.

Get someone that can download the maps, then hard rest, then reload maps? You may need to look into it further.

I'd be worried about losing the configuration set in the ECU to suit the engine as once that is lost you can't alter it yourself nor save it.

[Cuzzo]

Well that would make my suggestion not work. Dont do what i said.

You may need to contact microwreck,

thanks for suggestions... i think i'll get it to microtech local dealer first see what they wanna say about it... thanks.

There isn't a battery. We opened an LT10s to have a look inside once.

It would be stored in flash or eeprom inside the micro i would imagine.
No way to remove it without re-progmming it... a job only Microtech could do.
