Android TV Box Query

    Starting a thread as the original TV Box thread was closed (shame given the wealth of info in there).

    Im seeking some assistance with my own Android TV Box.

    Its a Sumvision Android X4 box. It wasn't used for a couple of months but previously had always worked perfectly for me. When I switched it on last w/e for some unknown reason im being asked to enter a pin instead of the usual home screen that appeared in the past.

    The screen prompting me for a pin looks like my Nexus start up screen. No doubt Im being thick here but it has me rather confused. None of my pin numbers work. I've never linked the box with any other android device.

    Had a long look online regarding a manual reset or a way to by pass the pin lock but cant find anything concrete. Id prefer not to wipe it if there was a way!

    Cheers for any suggestions

    Agree that it would be better to have a superthread on these boxes (with copyrighted material deleted of course!)

    If 0000 didn't work the only thing to do with it is to reflash.

    Update on the OP...........I managed to reflash the device using a usb stick.

    Everything worked fine but then the box started to restart by itself every 5 mins or so. I may try a 2nd reflash and see will that stop it restarting.
