lanman April 29, 2011 Share April 29, 2011 I accidentally pushed the wrong 'reset' button on my AC-III. I'm guessing I've lost all of my programming. I meant to push 'network reset'. FIRST problem - if I want a 4-character userid or password, how do I END the userid input? i.e. - if I want 'abcd' for my userid, I can put in a, b, c, d... but then it wants me to choose another letter. There doesn't seem to be a 'okay, that's all I want' selection. I know I did it before, but now I can't figure it out. Any assistance??

lanman April 29, 2011 Author Share April 29, 2011 Okay... figured that out - push UP and DOWN together, then 'select'. And yes... all of my programming is gone. And I have 3 outlet boxes... 5 sets of lights... and no written record of which outlet is for what. Sigh... bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite April 29, 2011 Share April 29, 2011 I think there's a lesson there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible Corals April 29, 2011 Share April 29, 2011 I did the same thing just a few weeks ago. I only have 8 plugs of prgramming to worry about though. Took about an hour to figure out all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the characters you can scroll through is the space character, and you can make that the 5th+ "letter" of your password. My password is only 4 characters, and I'm pretty sure that's how I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerseller April 29, 2011 Share April 29, 2011 Don't know if you can open up your program editor via your router like I can but this is my programing. If you can, it might be helpful to c&p into the editor. I also run 3 dc*8's with 5 mh lights and 3 sets of 03's. If I modify my programs, I save a copy before closing and keep a copy on my computer, just for instances like you are now enjoying.

lanman April 29, 2011 Author Share April 29, 2011 Thanks, Chip - I saved it as a 'sample'. Naturally all of our switches have different names, etc. I just started simple, and added a bit of this and that over the years. In 3 years of having an AC-III this is the first time I've lost my programming. I'll be ready for the next time! bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocko918 April 29, 2011 Share April 29, 2011 There was a thread a while back that everyone was posting their AC3 code. Did you post it there? Search for it, it might be listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
