HP41 Prgm mode ---> PRIVATE - TomC - 01-31-2020 12:15 AM

I've recently recovered (from storage) a HP41CV I had purchased some time ago.

When I go to PRGM mode, PRIVATE is displayed.

Can this be unlocked/overridden so I can see / run the Progams?

Thanks,
TomC

If there is a program stored, which will display PRIVATE when setting the CAT pointer to it and entering PRGM mode,
then that prgm is protected against modification and view.
You can still run those programs.
And there are synthetic ways to circumvent the PRIVATE protection.

But would it be worth the effort?
