Preventing theft (Password Protect)
When the Password Protect function is activated, people who do not know the
password will not be able to use the projector to project images. Furthermore,
the user’s logo that is displayed on the background of the screen cannot be
changed. This is effective against theft. At the time of purchase, the password
protection function is not enabled.
When "Power ON Protect" is enabled (ON)
When the power is turned on for the first time after the projector's power
cable is connected to an electrical outlet, or when Direct Power On is
carried out, the following password entry screen will be displayed.
While holding down the [Num] button, press the numeric keypad buttons
to enter the password. If the password is entered correctly, projection will
start.
The password entry screen will only be displayed when the power is turned
on for the first time after the power cable has been disconnected and then
reconnected.
If you leave the power cable connected to the electrical outlet and turn the
projector's power on when it is in standby mode, projection will start
without the password entry screen appearing. If Direct Power On is set to
“ON” and you are using a circuit breaker or similar to centrally control the
power, the password entry screen will be displayed the first time the
projector is turned on after the power supply is restored.

•If an incorrect password is entered three times in
succession, the message “The projector’s operation will
be locked.” will be displayed for approximately five
minutes, and then the projector will switch to standby
mode. If this happens, disconnect the power plug from
the electrical outlet and then reinsert it and turn the
projector’s power back on. A window requesting you to
enter the password will be displayed. Enter the correct
password.
If you happen to forget the password, make a note of the
“Request Code: xxxxx” number that appears in the
Password screen and contact Epson. sp.56
•If you continue to repeat the above operation and input
the wrong password thirty times, the following message
will be displayed and the projector will not accept
password entries any more: "The projector’s operation
will be locked. Contact the nearest address provided in
the “International Warranty Conditions” section of the
Safety Instructions/ World Wide Warranty terms.” If
you see this message, contact Epson. sp.56
