Lost my authentication key

Unfortunately it looks like the only solution is to delete the "S" folder on the recorder. This will clear out the security code for it, and should unlock the recorder. Please view the troubleshooting steps here to see what I'm talking about.

The link mentions you could also send the recorder off to Panasonic to have them clear the authentication code for you, but I'm not sure how much that costs. You would need to contact Panasonic to ask them. You can find their contact information here. Hope that answered your question, if not let me know!

You can move your files from the abc& s folders,

If you can't remember your password for the (S) Foler,
-Play the file
_while playing the file, Hold in on Folder Button
_You will then see the display with the Folder S lit up, and use the Roller to select the Folder you want the file to be sent to,
-Then press down on the Stop Button. The recording will stop and be moved to that folder.

Re: Authentication Key:
For the 450 Model; (May work for others/Not sure)

To reset the authrentication key of the unit, please try the following:
-take out the batteries of the unit
-put the unit onto HOLD
-put the batteries back into the unit; the unit should display "hold"
-press and hold ERASE, STOP, and REWIND or tilt the joystick left on the unit within 3 seconds
-if this is done correctly the LCD should light up and the REC light will blink; if not repeat the previous steps
-tilt and hold the joystick down for 10seconds; the LCD screen will display "hey del" to "finish"

Now I had to fiddle around a bit, like change the folder from ABC, etc. in order to get the instructions to work.

Now when you get it Finish(ed) just take out the batteries. The files were still intact in the recorder for me. I then plugged it in with the Voice Editing Program open, and then when asked to enter the Authentication Key, it worked.

I set the new key, But I thought it was supposed to ask you for the key everytime you plugged it it, but just the once (Win 7).
