Reset console lock pin code

Hi

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

  • 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.
