Hi all,

I can see in the documentation the command ''Lock Sector'' and used in the android demo application but I cannot figure how to unlock a sector. 

Using the application, I have changed the first password and locked the first sector and now I cannot write it and unlockit. 

Can Anybody help me?

Thanks a lot.

    Ok, I see how to unlock a sector, the problem is that the first password has been changed and I don't know its value. Anybody knows any way of resetting its value?

    Hello,

    On delivery,

    the three default password values are set to 0000 0000h and are activated.

    When a sector is locked , you must present the correct password to unlock it , access is then define by SSS setting .

    The I2C password is a Super user password and allow to overwrite the RF password and SSS which is not possible in RF for security purpose .

    Have a nice day,

    Hello,

    I have read in M24LR64E that RF password can not be read or write from I2C.

    (Datasheet M24LR64E-R page 31/140 --> ''

    The next three 32-bit blocks store the three RF passwords. These passwords are neither read- nor write- accessible in the I2C mode.

    ''

    Could you confirm that it's possible to read/change/reset the RF password from I2C?

    Regards,
