i didn't even have a option to change a password i just flashed my x3 with 1959 bios 1.6 and when i turned it on the rox my box came up then a screen came up and said enter your password
well give that password a shot....The only other thing that i've heard is loading your bios on a different bank and then erasing the other bios off of the primary bank that you first set up...?? I'm not sure of the major steps of that one though... 
Use the password eraser that was included in the .rar file. Set your switches for a 256k bank and flash an x2 bios to that bank, then load a dash and run the eraser xbe file.
Thanks for chimin in Hoboz...I figured you would pop in here soon!!! Thats the steps I was talking about, but couldnt remember where I saw them!!!
when load the x2 in the 256 bank when i turn it on to load the dashboard the screen stays blank so how can i load the dashboard
my xbox is version 1.6 and i tried to load x3 1959 bios then i tried x2 4983 like the suggested on bank 256
Then you said you used the X2 BIOS. There is no X2 BIOS compatible with the 1.6 Xbox yet.jreyes79 said:
Anyways… all you had to do was run the password eraser and all would have been normal.

the reason i put x2 on which i thought was wrong but sense i'm new to this i figured that the people telling to do it that way was right which more than one person told me to do it that way

I told him to flash the x2 bios, that was before I knew he had an 1.6.
But isn't the M8_16 compatiable with the 1.6? I don't know for sure.
Ahso! I didn’t catch that part. Yeah, the M8+_v16 is for the 1.6 units.HoBoZ said:
jreyes79,
Start from the beginning, boot to the backup and reflash the X3 1959 BIOS to the first 1MB combo with your switch settings set to on, on, off, off, off. If you still get a prompt for a PW, flash the M8+ BIOS to a 256k bank such as bank 8, burn the password eraser app to a cdrw or dvd in the normal manner for an Xbox disc and run the app. Don't forget to create a dummy file to buffer the space, you can follow the disc creation and burning in the flashbios tutorial for this.

maybe you should read the stickies then instead of asking questions first ?jreyes79 said:
also you didnt read the post entitled READ THIS FIRST where it tells you to include important information such as xbox version when posting problems
do not blame anyone else but yourself for not following instruction
those that follow = no problems
those that don't = problems - and they get pissy when we say RTFM - go figure
