Hi
How do I reset a forgotten console lock pin code. Preferably without reinstalling the system.

Hi Tobias! :D
Thanks for the Information! :D As I always say, our customer's know our consoles better than we do.
I will step back and let one of my better informed colleagues comment about the bug.
I did some more digging on this. Actually the bug is still there. But the max number is not actually 1957. If you try to set a pin larger than 6553 you get the wrong number in the input box. In this example the number 6555 results in the number 1 being entered in the new pin box.

The 1957 is a result on that the pin cannot be larger than 6553 and 8511 (witch is the pin I tired to enter) results in 1957 (8511-6554=1957).
And if you look at the 6553 number. Is is suspiciously similar to 65536, a unsigned int (16bit value) if you divide it by 10. So I am guessing that the pin is stored in an unsigned int somewhere in the code and that overflows if you enter a number larger than 6553.

I have found a way to find the lost pin code.
It is printed in plain text in the CobaltSettings.cfg file you get if you export your cobalt settings form the system settings/utilities
