Removing XTR LCD Panel Lock

From CobaltFAQs

Jump to: navigation, search

The XTR provides the ability to "lock" the LCD panel and prevent unauthorized access (to shutdown the server, change the IP, etc) by entering a Nintendo-like sequence of up-down-left-right key presses.

The "password" (numeric keycodes) are stored in /etc/cobalt/.fppasswd

The LCD panel "lock" is /etc/cobalt/.LCK..cobtpanel

Remove the two files and you will have access to the LCD functions again. You need shell access as root to do this (via SSH or a serial cable).

The script /usr/local/sbin/fppasswd.sh controls all the LCD panel password setting/clearing/etc on the XTR.

All the LCD menus/functions are controlled by scripts in /etc/lcd.d (this last part is true for all the Cobalt products).
