I was in the same boat as you with regards to my password. My unit is an SPH-DA120 and I had no choice but to send it to Pioneer. I never could get the unit to boot into testmode. Wish I could help but I never could figure it out.

My card was charged the $80 fee and Pioneer said the unit is on its way back with no password set. Such a pain in the a$$ to do but so glad there was not any issues with having this procedure done. FWIW - if you are in the same position I was, make sure you have the original paper work that has your serial number on it. If you do not have this document enclosed with the unit when you ship it, they will not perform any work/repair on the unit.

Ended up sending the unit off to Pioneer for a password reset. Shipped the unit next day air and hope to get a call by Friday to pay for the reset ($80 US). If anybody still has input on putting this unit in testmode, I'd love to know how.

Nobody? Bummer....i'm shipping the unit off tomorrow unless somebody can help. Thankfully my friend has kindly offered to pay for half of the cost to have the unit worked on by Pioneer.

Hi Guys, Apologies in advance for being so green on the subject........ As the title states, is there a way to get to testmode? I purchased my unit from a close friend whom purchased it brand new and had it installed professionally. The shop that installed it doesn't recall ever setting a password and my friend doesn't know what it would be. I'm trying to save having to send it to Pioneer to unlock and wanted to see what's possible? I have tried a few testmode downloads but nothing has work so far. I have loaded up the file(s) onto a USB flash drive and inserted it into USB P

Hi Gang, I purchased an SPH-DA120 from a close friend who had it installed by a professional shop in a Honda Eleement. I have all the paperwork, including receipt and registration info. Upon installing it into my truck and powering on the unit for the first time I was stuck on the Password Entry screen. Long story short my friend doesn't recall ever setting a password and the shop he had it installed at doesn't have record of setting a password on the unit. Password hint was left blank as well so I am stuck with either sending it off to Pioneer or hopefully able to recover the passwor
