bitbob Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Password has stopped working so I am thinking its reset time but the last backup was so long ago (not much changes on this system) I can't find it. It probably got moved so I need to know what the filename is for a 994i standard backup so I can search for it on several drives before I use the reset...Can't seem to find this filename anywhere in the documentation/Wiki. Thanks for the help...... Link to comment
Brian H Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Before a complete Factory Reset. Have you tried the reset password sequence? To see if it can be restored back to the default admin admin. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Resetting_Your_Userid/Password It is a long ZIP file name. One of my backup file name:ISY-Backup.v4.5.4__Sun 2017.04.09 02.01.28 PM.zip Link to comment
G W Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 If you check I think you will find that you can reset the password without resetting the ISY to factory. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Link to comment
bitbob Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 OK Gary I'm all ears. I couldn't find anything on this in the WIKI or in the forum under search term "password". If you know of such a process please do share... Link to comment

If you know of such a process please do share... Took me a few different search terms to find it: It is the exact method to reset the password. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Resetting_Your_Userid/Password If you still need the file name format. It is in my previous post in this thread. Link to comment
bitbob Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks Gary I already had that info in the manual and was hoping for a less drastic way of recovering or changing the password because I have lost my backups to a computer upgrade and didn't want to risk a full meltdown without one. Or is this reset button a little less likely to fail than the comments on this site seem to warn about. Oh well I guess I'll have to take the chance.. I had a previous episode a couple of years ago and someone directed me to the location where the security hash was for the password but I can't seem to find that comment now. Thanks again for your help.. Link to comment
