Hi all
My wife wants to set a system password on her 5mx to protect data from prying eyes at work. Unfortunately, it seems I had set a password on it (which I never used myself) when I got it, over two years ago, and obviously to change the password you need to know the password. I don't even remember setting it, let alone what it is! Is the only way to get rid of it to do a full hard reset/backup/restore? Or is there a simpler way? (If I do this, I will restore the password too, won't I?) If I have to do this, what would I need to get rid of in the backup before restoring? I hope that's clear!
Thanks (again) in advance
