No one should give our their own code as they're only supposed to be used once per installation or in many cases tied to a specific machine/hardware.
Try the above suggestion for Magical Jellybean key finder.... it might not work on reinstallation though as sometimes I've discovered.... the preloaded key won't usually match the one issued on the sticker. I won't bore you all with the reasons!
