How to set superuser without Control GX?

I recently installed a Cerbo GX with a few temperature sensors. I need to adjust the offset on the temperature probes but the manual says I need superuser access. I found the instructions to set the superuser access but it says it only works from a Control GX screen. I am access the remote console via my laptop. Is there anyway to setup for superuser access without a screen?

You do not need the display for this.

ok do you care to share how to do this? The link I found said that from the control panel you need to hold the right arrow down while on user access but the mouse click does not work. Please share how I can grant superuser access from the remote console. Thanks

You did not link which guide you read.

If this is the guide you read, then at step 4 it has the following note:

Note: when working from the Remote Console, you need to use the right key on your keyboard. Pressing and holding the right button with your mouse won't work.

Thanks, the posting I reviewed didn't mention the right arrow key on the keyboard. Thanks that solved my problem.

Just hold the right arrow in the hotkeys (at the right).

If I change to User or User + Installer it want to know a pasword, but there was never one generated

No chance to go out of this mode. Maybe reset Cerbo GX to factory settings

Next try: I load an older Cerbo GX firmware from SD Card. Same issue.
