Mosley MRC1620 default password

W

wharristx

Hello

I am trying to setup the Taskmaster S/W for a Mosley MRC1620.

I have a box that it is working on, but the new box wants a password for MRC1620.

I havent touched this in over 10 years, and I've forgotten it.

Does anyone remember the default p/w for a Mosley MRC 1620??? Or how you change it??

Mosley is of no help since the software is so old, the tech has retired and nobody remembers what it is..

Anybody??

You may need this original manual:

I found this online. It might help.

It's been many years since I worked with one of those remote control systems. I don't recall any passwords, just pressing two buttons to do most everything.

Yessir,... I have the manuals from Mosley.. But the TASKMASTER software from Mosley requires a P/W to access the remote end..... that's where I'm stumped.... I last worked on this about 10 years ago... and Mosley is of no help..


thanks

I ran into this issue many moons ago with Taskmaster. As I recall, there is no master or default password. Once you create the new password, the default factory one is forever changed. If you lose or forget it, you're screwed. What I ended up doing, was removing and reinstalling Taskmaster, then loading the backup remote configurations from an old disc. There are also updates to the application while you're at it:

Yeah the Taskmaster doesn't like a blank p/w field..... I was thinking it was 0000 or 1111.... I dont think we ever changed it or set it. I have the latest ver of the TM s/w (3.28)

I have reinstalled it on a WIN7 PC and copied the SConfig file to the folder that it was installed in... but it doesn't seem to recognize it... I know I'm getting serial data without problems ... and I have duplicated all the settings for the COM port on the new machine...... driving me nutz here....
 
Finally fixed

I'll put this down to document for posterity how I did it..

The Taskmaster software is a win2k based package. It will work on WIN7 using win2k compatibility mode.
I had an old win2k box that was running it and starting to throwup HDD errors. I loaded the current version of the TaskMaster software (from the MOSLEY site) on the win 7 box. It came up running fine. But I could NOT connect to the MRC1620 at the xmitter... I knew the serial connection was ok, and data was passing with proper BAUD etc...

I did not remember the password (if any) we set on the remote MRC1620... so no go connecting, tried different combinations (ie: 1111, 0000, 0, 1, etc..) no luck.

Then I remembered that win2k didn't use too much of the registry and maybe I could just copy the older folder over and rewrite the new one.. It worked... I am now the proud owner of a working Taskmaster with an MRC1620 on a WIN7 box.....
