[SOLVED] Reset master lock code on XBMC? Is it possible?

Post by geo93ts »

Hi, I have a problem with my xbox. When I bought it a while ago second hand, It already had xbmc in it and it also had a master lock code. The seller didn't know code and probably didn't care. So, I still don't know what the code is.. Is it possible that I could reset that code? I can't even change my system settings or change skins etc. Thanks for your time.

When you start your xbox hold the lefg thumb stick and the right thumb stick dow at the same time it should reset all settings and you should be able to use xbmc

I tried it a couple of times and it did reset my xbox user settings. But when I go to settings, scripts and file manager, that "Enter master code" thing still comes up. :/

Can you ftp to your xbox? You can edit your guisettings.xml this is in your userdata and set masterlock to false

Ok so I opened it with FileZilla clicked open on guisettings.xml, and a window opened on my browser.
And some numbers and words came up, what should I do? + I can't edit it like that, I can only read it and copy/paste it

Sorry but I'm new at this :P

Right click the remote file and choose View/Edit - that'll transfer the remote file locally in a temporary file, open it up in your preferred text editor or Notepad, you make the changes, close it and choose to save the changes, and FileZilla will ask you to upload the file with the changes back into remote location. Restart XBMC4Box and see how it went.

That did work thanks. Now I can edit the file. But there isn't a master lock code option inside the guisettings.xml file. :/

Look for this and set startuplock false:

Code: Select all

    <masterlock>
        <lockcode>-</lockcode>
        <maxretries>3</maxretries>
        <startuplock>false</startuplock>
    </masterlock>
It's where it stores the settings for this screen:

I used Xmplify on my mac to edit the guisettings.xml file and it did save correctly, but for some reason it still asks for that master code when I go to settings etc. :/

Ok, whatever FTP client and editor do it for you that's good - you can always retrieve the file again to see if it saved.

Lets try now going at userdata\profiles.xml, see the section below, similar to what you did ignore the part about the WinSCP, just set those values to false and save back:
