3.3.2 Unlocking the System

Unlocking the system:

 when the system is locked, select a program 

number on the main interface and press the button "Menu". Then select 
the item "System Unlock" and enter the password. The password is 
composed of the Arabic numbers from 1 to 6, with the longest being a six-
digit number. The six "Mute" buttons can work as the keys of the numbers 
from 1 to 6. For example, when you press "Mute 1", you are entering the 
number "1". Should any error occur in the entering, press "Exit" to cancel 
the entered numbers one by one, or choose "Unlock" to clear the 
password entered. Reenter the correct password. Choose "Unlock" to 
complete the unlocking of the system, or choose "Cancel" to cancel the 
operation. 

Changing the account:

 Refer to 3.2. If the system is locked by a higher 

level account, it cannot be unlocked by a lower level account. Instead, it 
has to be changed into an account of the same level or of a higher level. A 
higher level account can unlock the system locked by a lower level 
account.
