Hi and thanks.

 

Forgot username / password so I reset the ISY .. (hold pin down for 5 seconds, etc.)

 

When I pull up the user panel and put in admin admin and log in .. I then change the user and pass to my prefered choice..

 

Then..

 

I upload an old settings file to restore all my settings but it seems to keep uploading the old usernam and password so it locks me out again ...

 

Am I doing something wrong here/>?

 

THanks

Hello beachfront71,

 

Yes, your backup includes your userid/password and thus every time you restore it, you will get your old userid/password.

 

What you might want to do instead of doing a factory reset, is to reset your password. The process is the same (press/hold reset button) but the duration is about 10 seconds:

With kind regards,

1) Just to confirm...a factory reset is 5 seconds...but just a password reset is 10 seconds? I ask because that seems a little backwards to me. I would have thought the "less-destructive" reset was the shorter duration.

 

2) Also, to confuse matters even more, the link you provided for a password reset mentions 5 seconds, not 10 (for a 99i).

 

I have forgotten my password (which is amazing to me, considering how many times I've logged in...but oh well) and don't want to inadvertently reset my ISY.

Thank you. I was just going off this...

...and assumed the 5 second number for a factory reset was accurate info. Oops. :)
