Is it possible to get a beocenter 6 unlocked? I have seen a tv on eBay and interested in purchasing. However it does not have password.

hmmm if password was set, it could be reset, saying that I'm more stacked in past and most equipment require hard push rather than password, just to make sure what password are you talking about for wi-fi or the menu is locked? best be to into manual - I haven't got that 1 (I'm up to beocenter 2) - I'm sure any B&O specialized dealership (with workshop) be able to re-set / unlock or and some other guys in here know more about the new stuff
all the best

There - from manual:

This is a beovision 6, sorry for misconfusion. No password on tv due to previous tennants just leaving it! So Ebay link says.
Hi Chris,
Some B&O stores are happy to give you the original PIN. Problem occurs if the original owner then changed the PIN for a number that suited him. Then a master code is needed from Denmark, very unlikely you will get this for obvious reasons.

Maybe I am just not very trusting, but that sounds dodgy to me, and personally I wouldn't go near it.
If the seller had a legitimate reason for not having a pin, they would go to b and o themselves. The fact that they are prepared to take a hit on price and make it the buyers problem is strange, and I would think/hope you would have real problems getting a code for it without proof of purchase.
No problem there it figures it was Beovision and as other guys, especially Rednik said - it sound dodgy and as an buyer you shouldn't have to deal with that,it's seller's responsibility, despite facts such many things in live are dodgy - whom just might turn out not to be legitimate owner after all...
