If you forget the password

If the password function is activated, you will be asked 
to enter the six-digit password every time you turn on 
the projector. If you enter the wrong password, the 
password error message as pictured to the right displays 
lasting for three seconds, and the Input Password page 
follows. You can retry by entering another six-digit 
password, or if you did not record the password in this 
manual, and you absolutely do not remember it, you 
can use the password recall procedure. See

If you enter an incorrect password 5 times in 
succession, the projector will automatically shut down 
in a short time.
