I didn't - someone else told me but seriously I really do appreciate the help. Thanks again!

Apparently, you just hold down the "eject" key on boot and it opens. Thanks again for your help!

Worked like a charm, thanks!

Title pretty much says it all. I got my password (hooray) but now the unit continues to boot in "test mode" and I can't access the SD card because I have no way to open the face plate. Suggestions?

To be clear - the Z140BH has a mechanical faceplate that swings outward to reveal the SD card slot. I don't see an option to force it to open in Test Mode. Really hoping someone thought of this and I didn't just ruin my HU

Thank you very much, this worked - got the password but now I can't retreive the SD card because the faceplate won't open in Test mode. How can I retreive the SD card?

So I had to disconnect my battery today and lo and behold, I forgot the password to my Z140BH and I'm thinking this is probably the only way to go about fixing it short of sending the damn thing to Pioneer (which I absolutely do not want to do) I read the thread here: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/32929-x930bt-password-recovery/ But I'm not quite sure how this works. I have a SD card reader/card, what now? Do I risk disabling my nav function if I run test mode to get the text dump of the password file? I'm sure this has been asked before but if someone could give me a link
