    Play online viewer password

    So a friend got set up on my wife's PS2 long ago, quit the game then came back
    But we cant figure out his play online viewer password. Not the main FFXI pass word, but the one you can set before you can log in. I don't think we can delete the info and just re-enter.

    Re-install is not an option either as the PS2 disks are long gone, and buying new ones is buying a new HDD from all I can find

    Is there any other way other than re-install, that's all SE says we can do... but thats SE saying something

    Thanks in advance

    If you have the HDD utility installed on the PS2, you can reformat and reinstall FFXI with a new CD.

    I bought a used PS/2 sometime ago and whoever had it before me had left their POL Account info setup on the HDD. But, they had set the Viewer password, so you could not get any further.

    I formatted the HDD and reinstalled from on of the collection CD's for PS/2 and bam... all is good. To my knowledge there is no way to delete or reset that info on the PS2 without reformatting *IF* you don't have the viewer password.

    This is correct.

    There's no recovery option for that password. It's easily reset by uninstalling and reinstalling FFXI.
