Cracking Powersoft ArmoniaPlus Password Protected Presets

Presets in ArmoniaPlus can be protected with a password. While this feature could be used to stop someone modifying presets in a workspace accidentially, it seems to most commonly be used by speaker manafacturers wanting to "protect" their EQ/DSP settings for their speakers (ie. EAW greybox files).

Fortunately, it's easy enough to bypass the password protection in Armnonia by editing the DLL's using dnSpy. This can also be useful if you forget a preset password you previously set.

  1. Ensure Armonia is closed
  2. Open PowersoftSDK.Entities.dll in dnSpy(Ex) (must be running as admin)
  3. Browse to the PowersoftSDK.Entities.Components.Base namespace and open the LockerComponent<T> class
  4. Edit the IsCodeValid function and simply replace the contents with a return true statement
  5. Save the DLL
  6. Open Armonia and open the 'Preset Locking' page on your amplifier
  7. Enter any text into the password field and hit 'Apply'
  8. The preset should now be unlocked. Ensure to change 'Lock/Unlock ALL' to modify (paintbrush icon) and click Apply to save the preset as unlocked

Note: I have only tested this on X-series amplifiers and may not work for presets on K series.
