You'll find all sort of excuses people will come up with having their PAP2 mistakenly factory reset without even bother to first secure the GPP_K values of their PAP2. I have yet to find someone to tell us what was their condition right before they performed the factory reset, i.e. having a loaded gun pointed @their heads, etc.
If people even read the first hundred or so posts of the thread, they would understand that a factory reset is never necessary.
This is the major problem with lots of people here. They don't bother to read (perhaps, they think they are smarter or whatsoever) mainly because the task is over and it's time to enjoy their PAP2 unit(s).
And to top your remarks, there has been numerous posts asking PAP2 owners to keep a copy of GPP_K values once they unlocked their PAP2, yet you would still see some people posting about re-locking their PAP2 without saving a copy of their PAP2's GPP_K values. I really don't know why these people failed to secure their PAP2's GPP_K values; however, I can assure you that they really learnt their lesson to feel their
life really sucks without securing the GPP_K values of their unlock PAP2 units (knowing they had plentiful opportunities to do so), let alone mistakenly resetting the PAP2. If you managed to unlock your PAP2 and don't bother to secure its GPP_K values (let alone not bother to read posts in this thread), then you deserve this punishment if you even get it relocked through a factory reset. There is no excuse of not knowing that you need to secure the GPP_K values unless there is a way to completely turning your Linksys/Vonage locked PAP2 into a PAP2-NA!
BTW, I don't even remember what's the code to reset my PAP2 (if you know what I mean)
. Of course I know the answer, but I have forgotten the code at the moment.
