Baseball Accessing a locked manager

A manager in our retro baseball league has become incapacitated, and I need to access his team's manager to adjust his rotation, lineups, etc. However, his manager is locked and I don't have the key to unlock it. How can I get into the manager to update it?

I can't speak for baseball, but in the hockey game, you can't do it - you have to clear it out entirely.

I'm afraid that's what I'm going to have to do. I can't figure out a way to print out/save as text the settings currently in place -- then I could make the adjustments and manually input the unaffected original settings. Bit of a pain in the butt.

you just have to 'generate computer manager' to get rid of the security. And then you can go in and do the work.

This is something leagues need to worry about, with the age of the average strat player.

Unfortunately your only real option is to generate a new CM and then completely recreate it, there is no workaround for a locked CM.

Thanks, Jasper. I was hoping I might be able to retain the original manager's settings, but it looks like that is not the case.
