I bought this 1997 Robodrill from a man who bought it (like a dealer/trader) from Danaher (Matco Tool).
I got it up and running but the previous company put a password into the parameters. I called and talked to someone who might possibly know, he said the password would be 1111 or Kingsley. I have entered 1111 into the keyword and still can't get past it.
Another person on the internet claims to be able to crack the password if I send the SRAM back up.
Apparently the "a" version of the 16i control requires a genuine SRAM card (bought 2mb card from cnc-specialty-store.com for $130) and did an SRAM back up. But I can't figure out how to get SRAM to my PC as a send able file. CNC Specialty has a reader/writer for $405.
I may need to bite the bullet, but any ideas would be great. My understanding is the only way to get the control password free is to either crack it or wipe it. If I wipe it and I don't have all the 9000s output and certain parameters, I may end up with a fast, 4-axis, boat anchor.
Thanks for any help.
