Thank you very much for your speedy effort, EL NINO77.?

And this is for the whole forum, too. Thank you so much for this 5-Star forum, Steve.

I have been instructed by the engineers to shut my trap. So instead I would suggest finding a copy of the "Advanced User Manual" written by some very smart people. A quick google search should help you find it.

I am tryin to find out how to reset the password when its been forgotten (it is still set at the default password that appeared during the initial registration).  The White's factory has gone out of business.  I have been in touch with Garrett's and the White's authorized repair centers.  They are currently researching it for me.   In one of the interim responses I received from on repair center, they indicated that it was based on the serial number, but they haven't come up with a definitive answer yet.  It sounds like you have some "inside" information about the White's Spectrum V3i.  Can you help me out?

Hello MHB.

When White's Oregon was still active they run a forum and that was a question I remember. Steve Howard, one of the leading heads and a very helpful person, said that both serials are needed to generate the code at the plant. One is the printed serial at the compartment-door, and the other is the one stored digital in the memory of the detector which wil be shown on the screen. Hopefully Carl (Geotech) can jump in, bringing some light into this.

- But all this has nothing to do with the detectors performance. You may use it to your likes with full power.

Happy Hunting.

Thx, El Nino77,

This was not the same as the User's Guide. I'm guessing it was a link to posts regarding user individual threads on the same topic. It also listed the Adv. guide you linked to, and which I have. But no probs! I do thank you for trying to help. Most of the "advanced" threads on this forum re: V3(i) seem to be loosely about Ground Filters. I copied those for study so I guess I'm good.

BTW, my Great-Grandfather came from Bratislava area (peasants) at age 14(!) about 1880's to Pennsylvania Coal Mines. So I know you are of good stock!

White's had a program whereby you enter the serial numbers and it spits out an override password. Either Garrett has it, or no one has it.
