Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

I was attempting to upgrade one of my CNC10 units to MPU11 today. It would not allow recognize the new SSD I used to replace the CFD it orignally came with. When I attempted to trouble shoot the problem by editing the BIOS it would not let me in as it needed a password. Is there a standard password that Ajax or Centroid uses? Was this a one time anomally, I have one more to do. I should mention that I've already done one upgrade and didn't run into the problem. I got past it today by clearing the CMOS but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.

I sent you a PM with the password.

I have an error code on the Lenovo on the CNC:

I need the BIOS password to get in to do the following:

ERROR 1962 Lenovo – No Operating System Found

what is the password so we can installa new hard drive? Thanks, Gerard

This is YOUR PC I assume? Centroid won't be able to help if they did not supply the computer.
Please provide more information about the control, post a report or the serial number on the back of the Operator console or the cabinet.

Typically if there was a password on the Bios (TERRIBLE IDEA) I try removing the battery from the motherboard for 30 minutes or so and then reinstalling it (might be a good time to replace with a new one). Generally that will reset the BIOS to defaults. Its usually a CR2032. Looks about the size of nickel-ish

Centroid did provide the PC. They responded already this am with the password.

I hope that installing the new SSD hard drive with Widndows 8.1 and the OAK, ALLin1DC and MPU11 will suffice and that I have no other configs to do.

Thanks, Gerard

Post questions here if you need further help. IF you can, post a report file...
New build or existing/retrofit upgrade?

I had an existing 3 axis CNC machine retrofit and upgrade in 2015, the hard drive on CPU crashed.

Got it. I hope you had a report file saved on a USB stick
