Passcode
In order to gain access to a preset that has been protected using the “Protect Preset” utility, the correct passcode for
the preset being accessed must be entered into the prompt. Please understand that it is impossible for the factory (or
anyone else for that matter) to gain access to an Omnia preset that has been encrypted by the Protect Preset utility.
Unless the correct key is known (and there is only one), there is no way to recover the preset and its settings!
To access a protected preset for viewing or editing, do the following:
1.
Navigate to the Preset Menu;
2.
Click on the “Passcode” button.
3.
Enter the correct passcode for the preset, noting that the code is case sensitive!
4.
The message “sending passcode “XX” should appear. If the code was correct, the preset should display
with the [U] (unlocked) symbol next to it.
- OR -
1.
Navigate to the Process Menu and click on it;
2.
Enter the correct passcode for the preset when prompted for it, noting that the code is case sensitive!
3.
The message “sending passcode “XX” should appear. If the code was correct, the preset should display
with the [U] (unlocked) symbol next to it and the. Process Menu should be accessible.
Additional notes:
a.
If the preset is protected and the user clicks on the Process menu, they will be prompted for the
correct passcode for the preset they wish to edit or view.
b.
Protected presets may not be viewed, edited, or printed with the remote control program unless the
preset is unlocked [U] first. However, protected presets can be selected and loaded into the
Omnia’s memory at any time.
c.
If more than one preset shares the same passcode, when that passcode is entered at the prompt
ALL user presets protected with that passcode will be simultaneously unlocked for editing or
viewing.
d.
Preset passcodes can never be deleted or changed. In other words, once a passcode has been
associated with a preset, that preset and passcode are forever interdependent.
e.
You may share protected presets among other Omnia users, but the preset is not viewable without
the passcode. This means that any protected preset may be loaded into any Omnia 6, but its
contents (control settings) may not be accessed without the proper passcode.
f.
There is no back door, no secret passcode, and no hidden command that the factory can use to
retrieve a preset that is accidentally locked by the end user. Presets that are locked with the Protect
Preset function are encrypted using the passcode as the encryption key. Without the appropriate
decryption key, the preset and its settings can never be recovered!
