Skybox F3 factory reset

[telly123]

Hi All

I've recently flashed a firmware I downloaded some time ago, 3601HD_Backup.abs. I've got no idea what the password is, tried a few usual suspects to no avail.

As a result I am now locked out of my menu options and am getting close to chucking this thing in the bin.

Does anyone know if it is possible to force a factory reset when you don't have the "useless" password pretty please?

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks guys, still can't believe I flashed this firmware. Unfortunately those codes didn't work, RS232 also not looking likely so in the bin it goes I think.

Appreciate your help
