Problem

Locked out of the Application in "Offline" mode when in MP Install.


Causes

Working offline on a configuration and saving a password other than “Admin” and Closing out of the App. When launching the App, it prompts for a password. You will be locked out if you do not enter the previously saved password.

Do you have access to an MP-M?

Yes

 

No

 
 
  1. Connect the affected computer that is locked out of MP Install to an MP-M.
    1. Preferably connect as a directly wired Ethernet connection between the mixer and the computer as this will minimize all the different network variables. 
    2. Refer to the MP-M Network Troubleshooting Guide for further details.
  2. Launch MP Install.
  3. Select the mixer from the discovered list within the "Resolve" button.
  4. Enter password for the mixer.

    2. Reset the password using the pin-hole reset method.

  7. Close MP Install.
  8. Remove MP-M from the network.

    1. Move both the Install and Header files from the App Directory.
