Hi Bob,

to enter calibration the bottom <Scale & Offset> is to be pressed during power on. In my case, CAL SECURE is displayed and after the next push on <Scale & Offset> the display reads: CODE: 0. Using left arrow it makes up to 7 zeros to appear... - quite a lot of options to try it manually... even more pushes needed as e.g. 4 is reached be 4-times up arrow...
Still hoping to learn the secret procedure.

I've tried several figures (among them 53131 as said in the manual or the number printed on a paper lable sticking on the display)...
Neither Serial number nor date code is working - always: BAD CODE.

Nevertheless: thanks!

Hi

I believe you will find that when you do the cal it will ask you:

Security yes/no?

(answer yes)

Enter your key?

(enter a random number)

Enter your key again?

(re-enter random number)

Security enabled.

No, that is not a direct quote of what happens. It’s purely a guess based on 
the process used on other gizmos.

Yes, there pretty much *has* to be a “wipe the memory” command somewhere. I 
would not find it surprising if the answer involves a trip back to HP for 
service. I doubt they will do much on a 53131 now that they have killed off 
support.

What to do:

1) Try the usual guesses 123, 1234 etc.

2) Try the end of the serial number on the counter

3) Try 53131

Again - only a guess. It does fit the given information - no magic code listed 
anywhere / Magic code does exist.

Bob
