Xbox360 password.

My daughters boyfriend has locked her xbox with a password. They have since broken up. No password.... any ideas anyone please ?

I don't know if this will help:

Download firmw.rar and unpack it, then boot to a dos boot disc with the files from the archive on it.

There must be four files in addition to the system boot files on the boot disc:
u5339.ovl
u5339.fls
u5339.crt
sf.exe

Plug your Seagate into an available IDE channel

Execute the command "SF -v -f U5339 -m U5"

It will scan all channels for the drive and when it finds it, it will flash it with the same firmware that is already on it. This has a side effect of the drive becoming unlocked.

I found this solution on www.llama.com - it doesn't work for everyone though but I think there are a few other alternatives if this is unsuccessful.

Good luck,

Xbox360 hard drives are SATA so that wont work and it will invalidate the warranty. Phone microsoft they should be able to unlock it over the phone

Thank you all. Have never used this to post before so wasnt sure I would get an answer at all. Will give some of those methods a go and see what happens !

Once again - Thanks all !

You can do system reset from main system blade.
