To reset to factory defaults (resets password to 0000 etc), remove mains power (unplug at the wall), hold down the 'OK' button on the box and, keeping it held down, restore mains power. Keep holding 'OK' button until RESET appears on front display.

Note: Although the HD looks like a standard IDE drive, its integrated electronics are slightly different. Especially designed for use in PVRs, they purposely ignore data errors and tend to run cooler. Fitting a standard drive as a replacement tends to cause even more data loss (as the drive 'fruitlessly' tries to correct one error) and results in more picture lockups and freezing.
