Master Lock Mishap
« on: June 04, 2009, 03:41:00 PM »

You can put XBMC into error recovery mode by holding white and Y during startup, and that will give you ftp access. Use ftp to edit \XBMC\UserData\guisettings.xml and edit the <masterlock> section to say <lockcode>-</lockcode> and <startuplock>false</startuplock>

If that doesn't work, cold boot with a boot disc (Frosty's or Slayers), and use ftp to change guisettings.xml.

Alternatively you can reset XBMC by holding down both thumbsticks as it boots. I think that resets the lock along with all of your other settings.
