Lock

[lblazer05]

Hey, i have an Echostar DP301 receiver. My daughter changed my password and i just cant seem to unlock it. I have tried everything. Do you guys have any main official password that can unlock it?? Please help me! i am stressing out over this. Well i'll appreciate the help. Thanks

Have you tried calling DISH?

No, i have no time whatsoever to call so i thought that the only fast way to deal with this was to post my problem here hoping someone has gone through something similar.

Always a good suggestion.

In the time it took you to register, post, and wait for a response, you probably could have already asked DISH. Shouldn't be any hold time at this time of night. I rarely get a hold time at any time of day, except Saturday.

Actually i do not live in the states, so it isnt THAT easy to go around calling. But yeah i find it rude for you to make any comments if you dont know anything.

 

[chaddux]

Well that changes things.

Okay, lets get back to the topic on hand......

Really DISH would be your best bet. If you can get a chance to call them do it.

Actually, the 301 manual states that the ONLY way to recover a forgotten password is to call DISH. You will be required to provide:

(1) your name;
(2) your address;
(3) your telephone number;
(4) the receiver serial identification number;
(5) your PersonalIdentification Number (PIN), if you use one.

Well thanks anyways, i was just looking also for a way for me not to spend money on calling them since like i said, i dont live in the states and i am in a low budget. I was just wondering if anybody knew the master password.

I don't think there is one. I think what DISH does (or Directv for that matter) sends a hit to your receiver and unlocks it that way.

What part of the world are you in?

 

[chaddux]

You could use DISH's online contact form and provide the above-mentioned information. That would save you a call, if it worked.

No problem. I'm nice enough to still help.

By the way, if it works, let us know what happens. I'm curious if they use a hit or if there is a trick to unlock it.
