P.i.n
 
I dont know the pin on my PACE box.

In my recent action to set a pin on the adult channels i was given three atempts to enter the password, however like an idiot and not reading the screen i though i was entering a new password.

Know i have 1 chance to enter the correct password, i was thinking to enter the usual default pin of 1234, what will hapen if this is wrong?

I have been given only three attempts to get it right, i think coz i have the old box.

Just need someone to confirm what will happen if i get this last one wrong.

Thanks

You get locked out for a [temp] period of time - which I think is 1 hour.

I suspect that a phone call to CS would enable you to reset the password, provided you can give CS details of your account, and it's password!

I dunno I didn't write the software ;)

At least that way you aren't completely locked out of your STB. So you can continue to do evrything else.

Someone who is involved with the software told people here: http://www.chetnet.co.uk/portal/foru...94&postcount=7
