Hi Robotheosis,
Couple of things we should try before the usb recovery method (since you shouldn't need the password to complete a firmware upgrade):
* Using the imaging tool (not MAX) to format and then update firmware on the target - https://docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/docs/zero-to-robot/step-3/imaging-your-roborio.html#imaging-the-ro...
* safe mode - https://docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/docs/software/roborio-info/recovering-a-roborio-using-safe-mode.ht...
Also, when you say the default password, you mean blank, right?

Hi, thanks for that. What's strange is in safe mode it's still asking for a password — I've tried multiple times. I have used the imaging tool, the problem is I can't image without updating firmware, the RoboRIO is so old (version 2-ish) and it says minimum version is 5.0-ish to reformat, so I'm sort of stuck. Need to update firmware but that asks for password, again even in safe mode.
By default I do mean blank yes. I've also done admin admin, root admin, admin password, all that basic stuff.
Thanks so much for your reply. This is a frustrating problem. Everyone on the team who was around during this RoboRIO's use is long gone.

I've emailed the recovery file (and instructions) to the email on your profile.

hello thanks for the reply. Robrio 2.0. I tried everything for 3 days, unfortunately it doesn't work.
Can you send me the recovery file? Or we will be very happy if you can contact us remotely and help us (using team viewer)
