Can't discover panel password

[Sim0cYz]

Describe the bug I am unaware of the password set by my previous installer, I am trying to make it bruteforce it but with no luck. Tried all 4, 5 and 6 cyphers codes without success.

Configuration

• Environment: HA Addon
• Version: [v0.4.2]
• Mode: direct
• Risco Panel model: LightSYS2
• Risco Panel firmware version: unknown, can't access

What are the next logs ? No errors in the middle of the password discovery ? Sorry, no other idea. If panel code discovery does not work and you can't retrieve the code from your installer, I don't know how to help

[Sim0cYz]

This is the last part of the log, no errors in between password discovery attempts. Maybe direct connection is the wrong way? Panel is connected to Risco Cloud. But how can I disable it without installer code? Thank you

Have you tried the default one 5678?

[pergolafabio]

Most of the times they are left default, out the installer and subinstaller codes are being changed, not the access code for the config used by the CS password

[Sim0cYz]

Hi Fabio, sadly yes, 5678 code is the first one I tried. It's my friends panel, his installer changed the code but funny that brute force is not finding it, tried everything between 0000 and 999999 without success

[pergolafabio]

And you don't have the installer or subinstaller code , maybe they are left default, then you can access the LCD panel, al reset the access code?

[Sim0cYz]

If you're referring to 1111 code, no it's not working to access the menu from the lcd keyboard. I opened this issue because I know for sure that bruteforce worked on my LightSYS2 months ago, and it's not working on my friend's panel (same panel but with multi-socket ethernet card, while I have mono-socket on mine). Don't know if this could be useful..

[Sim0cYz]

Last option could be reset the board putting the "Default" dip switch on. My friend tried it, set it on and power cycle, but 5678 code wasn't working and bruteforce 0000 to 9999 gave no success. What is the correct way to reset codes? Will this also reset zones and other settings? He doesn't want to lose the installer work..

[pergolafabio]

Hmm, not sure...

Why not just call installer and ask for the code?

[Sim0cYz]

He's not answering at calls or replying at messages, doubt he will ever disclose his code..!

[pergolafabio]

He should! Or just move on to another installed, or manage the panel by yourself... I did that also, I was not pleased by my installer... You can call Risco to detach the panel from installer x

[pergolafabio]

Or just use the cloud integration?

[Sim0cYz]

Good to know, I will tell him to call Risco and check if they can do something. These are the the instructions to default codes, but I am not sure why it didn't work.

He set it to on, powered off, powered on, set it to off after a while, and went to the keyboard to try the default code (without success).

Maybe the dip switch should be kept "on" all the time until the first use of the default code?

About using the cloud, he would go local because unhappy with the new paid subscription..

[pergolafabio]

I have no idea , never tried it :-)

This weekend he's trying again, I will report back ;)

Hello, did you check reset passwords by DIP switch? It resets only passwords or reset all settings to factory defaults?

[Sim0cYz]

Hello, my friend had not time to try last weekend, I will report as soon as I have some news 😊 Da: arturzxInviato: mercoledì 5 ottobre 2022 10:27A: vanackej/risco-mqtt-localCc: Sim0cYz; AuthorOggetto: Re: [vanackej/risco-mqtt-local] Can't discover panel password (Issue #56) This weekend he's trying again, I will report back ;)Hello, did you check reset passwords by DIP switch?

Hello again, I've checked this now - DIP switch 2 resets only codes (grand, installer, sub-installer). If you cannot connect with panel you must enable Configuration Software (1/2/3/3 option in installer menu). For me now all it works :-)

Hello, I confirm my friend successfully reset codes that way!
