lost the key for rm systembase server

[amyr]

I've lost the key to get into the back (& front) of the RM Systembase server and need to get it powered up as I'd like to find out if I can use it as a webhost for our intranet page...(and possibly our own website) so that demands aren't put on our normal server.

any ideas as to how I can get a key to open up the back? (or a way of opening up the back without damaging it?)

Thanks

We still have one of these so will have a look.

Im sure if you got in touch with RM they would probably send you a spare key.

Drill the lock out, I've done that on a few PC cases with locks, or just get a straight bladed screwdriver (assuming its a normal key rather than a round key), hammer it in well and twist and it normally breaks the inside of the lock so it swivels round. These case locks are very weak and easily broken without too much effort.

lol, sounds like when our bursar decided to order in a load of IWB's and projectors - he ordered the company to fit locks, which they did - but didn't give us the code. Bursar then forgets the code pair of wirecutters sorted the locks out so fast I wondered why they fitted them in the first place.

its a round lock - have already tried screwdriver! don't really want to break the case too much....will give rm a call later this morning (when I've built up the courage to do it...hate phoning RM!)
