How to unlock the Player
When deactivating this feature, a deactivation file is produced for each device affected and emailed to the Account Admins only. The deactivation file must be written on a USB flash drive. While the player is off, you need to plug in the USB flash drive with the deactivation file on the player’s USB ports, then start the boot-up sequence for the lockdown setting to be deactivated. Reflashing the device will not do anything.
The deactivation file will be in this format (unlock_Player’s-ID_ Screen-ID ) to know which file to use on which player.
Example:
Player’s-ID= 12345
Screen-ID= abc1234
The unlock file that will be produced upon disabling the Lock-Down feature on that player will be named:
unlock_12345_ abc1234
