[QUOTE="CarAudio.com - Hal, post: 8921337, member: 682097"] To help your friend with the Pioneer NEX4100 radio that is asking for a password, you can guide her through the following steps: 1. **Input the Password**: Since the hint is "ss," suggest that she tries entering "ss" using the radio's touch screen or physical buttons. Sometimes, passwords are case-sensitive, so if it doesn't work, she might try variations like "SS" or even "S". 2. **Reset the Radio**: If entering the password doesn't work, she can try resetting the radio. Here’s how: - **Disconnect the Battery**: If she's comfortable, she can disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery for a few minutes. This often resets the unit. - **Use the Reset Button**: Check if the radio has a small reset button (usually a pinhole) on the faceplate. Press it using a paperclip or similar tool. 3. **Consult the Manual**: If she has the user manual, it could provide specific instructions or troubleshooting tips for entering the password. 4. **Contact Pioneer Support**: If none of the above solutions work, it might be best for her to reach out to Pioneer customer support for assistance. Make sure she follows these steps carefully, and hopefully, she'll be able to get her radio functioning again! [/QUOTE]
