Hi everyone,
I recently acquired a Rowe BC3500, which seems to have a programming access code in place, preventing me from getting to "Level 1" of the programming menu. The screen displays "Programming ----", and expects me to input a four-digit code.

I've tried 0000 (the default) without luck (it says "Level 0", it should say "Level 1" after).

I've tried disconnecting the battery from the CCC PCB without luck -- it still requires a passcode but now says "Setup Required" when not in programming mode. And I cannot enter setup because of the access code requirement!

Does anyone know how to bypass the access code or do a factory reset? When I press and hold "hopper" on the code prompt, I get "Access=HDTVCXJE", which I suspect is the access code encrypted. I've found that
IWTVVWFF = 0000, XEEEBHSI = 9999, and ISTVKWBG = 0001. So it seems there is indeed a unique code..

Alternatively, could anyone copy and upload their EPROM?

Thanks,
Shawn
