Hello everybody! :D

I've stupidly changed the lock code on my Freeview box and Have stupidly forgotten it :o

Can anyone tell me how to over ride this so i can change it back or to a different code???

I have had a good luck and found pressing menu , menu, red, menu but it hasn't helped?

Any help most appreciated! Thanks!

    If there is a reset button at back of it - you could do a master reset which would put the code back to 0000 probably.

    I dont have that box but thats how normally these things work.

    And if there is no reset button - well if you know its 4 digits, well you have a 9999 attempts :p

    The reset button is usually a small hole which you can only press with a pin or needle. You sure it doesnt have one?

    Turn it off and leave it off for about 10 minutes see if that works I sometimes have to do this with Sky box

    what I should have said is turn it off by the main switch

    Any chance this would work?

    1. Turn off the unit for 15 minutes to cause a full reset.
    2. Turn on the PVR with everything attached except the antenna input.
    3. You will get an Er09 on the display. On my PVR there was no output on the TV screen whatsoever (totally black screen).
    4. Press 'OK' on the remote (confusing as there is no clue that this is what you should be doing, though Sagem support thought that the PVR should prompt you.
    5. The box reboots in standby mode.

    Guys Thanks for all your help !

    I just got off the phone from Sagem , they gave me the Mastercode ""0044" :D

    Funny thing is , I was going to do all the Combination's going up to 9999 but I get to 0037 and couldn't be bothered to go any further , If only i carried on a little bit more :p
