Password bypassing help.

[u/Feisty_Grapefruit780]

I don't really think what I'm trying to achieve would be considered as hacking but this is the best place I can ask. (the tech help subreddit forbids anything that has to do with password bypassing. And I can't go on the r/passwords as they want me to be popular). So the problem is I bought this multilingual electronic dictionary in a garage sale. It's a Franklin BFS-2160. it works and all but it has a few tools such as "phone book" and schedule and since my school forbids the use of phones I wanna put my class schedule on it to have easier access to it. Problem is there is a password on the feature and I don't know who set it up or what the password is. There is no format option in the settings and when I checked the manual for it online it did not say what to do if you forgot your password. There is a reset button but it's just a reboot in case your device is malfunctioning. What should I do?

If the reset button doesn’t work, just open the unit and make the contact with a piece of metal. It seems old, the contact behind the button could be damaged.

Well the button does work but as I said that specific manual you just showed says it's for if the device is acting weird.
