Re: Master password

["Nelson Cunha" <njcunha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Robert,

I have a Napco Gemini 3200 board with defective serial port . I decided
to replace it and bought an used one  from a friend. The problem is: He
missed its master code and  I need to recover it. Difficult ship this
board to the States  cause I live in Brazil.
Would you help me on recovering its master code? I could make a
international phone call for security reasons.
Many thanks,

Nelson Cunha
