Where can I find the password?

Looks like I'll have to purchase a password reset from ebay. Any recommended sellers?

No need to buy something if you are able to enter testmode

Can you please be more specific.

Why is this being kept a secret? Please post the process, in detail, so others won't have to ask. That's the purpose of this board.

Yea I don't get it either, they provide the information to any first time poster that comes here, but only via messaging.

I need this information , had to create a new account, its been awhile

I also just ran into this when I had to disconnect my batteries for 15 minutes. I just forgot my password even though the screen gives me the password hint...I have a pioneer Avic-6000NEX. I have the purchase receipt and installed it myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The unit is still installed in my truck but only the password screen is present on the display. Any help would be really appreciated, I also don't have a problem submitting my receipt pricing I am the original owner

Hey guys, I would need the specifics on how to recover the password. I have been trying to use the guide provided here: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/81468-the-avic-development-mod butI dont seem to succeed if anybody could help me out with the steps it would be great. I have a AVIC-4100NEX that I would need to unblock. Eternally grateful for any help!

Issue got resolved!

Would it of killed you to actually explain HOW it was resolved??? That would be a great way to express your gratitude.

No it would not have killed me. Whats up with the aggression?

I did not go in to details since it seems to be kept a secret how to remove the password. The user that helped me got his gratitude in a private message.

You came to the board begging for help, then suddenly clam-up. Nobody gets paid here.  The purpose of this site is to be a community of users, helping other users. So it sounds like you are refusing to even give a hint how you fixed your problem. I'm sure glad you are in the minority.

I'm starting to get the feeling that there are a few vultures who use this board as a source of revenue. If you ran into one of them, don't be silent out of misplaced loyalty. They are selling the work of others. Probably things they learned here. By keeping the knowledge public, you will prevent  others from being victims.

There are several ways to do this - delete database files containing password, reset settings to defaults, use special scripts (some "businessmans" selling this) and so on. You can even rewrite extdata partition or whole sd card to reset password

Seriously RonS, I don't understand why you choose to pick on me. The user before me got a PM that helped him solve the problem. He did not share any information on how it was fixed for him and you didn't jump on him. Chill out a bit, I got the same help that he got and provided about as much information back to the community. I would love to contribute more to the board but my knowledge and skill in programming is quite limited.

Couldn't find the database files containing the passwords and resetting settings to defaults did not help. I am starting to think that the headunit has more faults than just the password. Thanks anyway for the help!

You can also join our groupchat to get help with password reset.

Database files are located in extdata partition, you can use file manager from testmode to delete them. Other methods (resetting settings for example) are also available from testmode. Information about entering testmode is freely available in development topic on this forum (marked with green PINNED word on first page).

I remember that I had issues with the extdata partition, if I am not wrong the folder with the user data is empty on my unit on the extdata partition. Resetting from testmode didn't do anything to remove the password. I have lost my usb drive and am not able to enter the testmode at the moment but will get a new one pretty soon, I will post here any updates on unlocking the unit.

Thanks you for your help I will join the groupchat!

So I'm not picking on you.

BTW, I thought you said it was resolved.

You mean this one?

I missed your response but yes that was what I was talking about. Either way sorry if I hurt your feelings not my intention. The situation is kinda resolved, I can access the system but every time power cuts it asks for password which is very annoying.

You can do it by entering test mode and copying and/or deleting the user profile. Grad the test file from here: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/81469-avic-development-mod-device-backup/%C2%A0for%C2%A0this. copyit to a usb stick, insert to your pioneer HU and start the device. Choose file maintenance and enter the extdata partition look up user and there you have it.
