Hi,

Is it just me or haven't you jumped too fast to the difficult solution ?

I did a simple search on google:
+pap2 +"password reset"

Which returned a lot of results...

I read through a couple of them and it appears you can use the analog port
to reset the password...

Here is one example that looks good:

ge.id=11

Read through a couple of them, you might find an easier way then
bruteforcing the unit lol
