Stupid xbmc is locking me out I do not remember setting a master code. Well now I need to reset. A new download of the platform does nothing and I can't seem to wipe away all traces of previous incarnation. I need to know how to reset a master code.

Nice one.. you forgot the master code, but it is XBMC that is stupid... Sorry, I couldn't resist

First you need to find the userdata (wiki) directory. It differs per OS.

Once you are in the userdata (wiki) directory, edit guisettings.xml (wiki) and change the startuplock tag:

Code:

<startuplock default="true">false</startuplock>

If it is not the master lock, but the profile lock, then edit the profiles.xml (wiki) file in the same directory and for the particular profile change the lockmode and lockcode tags:

Code:

<lockmode>0</lockmode>
<lockcode>-</lockcode>
