JMZ101586 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Need some help Ive done searching and it seems when people ask it a special person sends them a PM with info how to fix this.I bought a scratch and dent head unit from an authorized online retailer. Got it, everything looked great. Wired it all in, put the dash back together, and was greeted with a Password screen with the hint listed "home". Called the retailers support, they say there is no universal password, my choices are pony up the extra cash for a new one, pay to send it to pioneer, return the head unit... or ask you guys for help.I can provide the invoice to prove its not stolen to whomever can help. Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bonee Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Use testkey_A. and use file manger to reset the password Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kingston73 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Brand new to the forum and to newer pioneer units. I have an AVH4400BT right now that I bought used and have never seen or needed any type of password. I just ordered a 4200nex and should be getting it in a couple days. I've seen a few threads here about passwords and recovery, does pioneer make you input a password when it first boots up? What am I missing and what do I need to know?

asd255 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Do not set a password. When you are asked to do so see manual - setting the Anti-theft password Quote Link to post Share on other sites
