Mr6500 where do I find admin password

  • There's a small hole under the cover in a slot on the connector side of the device.  It will say reset near it.  Use a wire probe (straightened paper clip).

    Push the reset button in the hole for 10 seconds with the battery attached and charged.  That should initiate a factory reset.

  • Assuming that it's still the factory default, then it should be on the label under the battery.  If it doesn't work, then you need to do a factory reset and try again.

      I’m currently locked out on the iPad accessing m6. Because of the password issue. Do you know how to do the factory reset from the device it self?

      I tried the one underneath the battery. I’ll give the factory reset. Thanks for the feedback.
