I have a Gold-Flow GF-12 reflow oven. When entering "Work" mode, I get a screen that says that the oven needs to be tuned first. I am able to start the autotuning process (found the password on SMTnet), but the unit just seems to run forever in that

I have an oven that now wants me to tune and can't do anything until I enter a password. The big problem is I don't know the password. Any way to find it or bypass it. Figured it out, the machine has a battery back-up and it needed to be replaced.
