Changing the Lock Level Password

A unique lock level password (4-digit password) protects the current receiver
settings against unauthorized changes. When changing the password, record and
keep this number in a secure location. The default password is 1234.
Important: Proceed with caution when changing the password as this operation
cannot be undone. If the password is lost or is unavailable, contact Cisco customer
support.
To change the lock level password:
1. From the Administration screen, press the yellow button (Adv Admin).
2. Select Set Lock Level Password and press OK.
3. Press OK to enter the current password and press OK. For security, a default
character is substituted for each button pressed.
4. Press OK to enter the new password, any number from 0 to 9, and press OK.
5. Press OK to enter the new password again for password confirmation and press
OK. A message appears informing you that the password was changed
successfully.
Note: If the password is lost or is unavailable, contact Cisco customer support.
