 For Batocera 5.27 and earlier versions, the code is entered starting from the **manufacturers bar** at the main system selection menu. When the code is entered successfully, the Batocera logo will flash, indicating that EmulationStation is restarting. Also, beware if the A and B buttons have been swapped in EmulationStation (**SYSTEM SETTINGS** -> **DEVELOPER** menu). The cheat code needs to be entered quickly for it to be accepted.

+==== Change the unlock code ====
+In a similar vein, the ''UIMode_passkey'' line right below that (usually) in ''es_settings.cfg'' can be used to alter the unlock code:
+<code>
+<string name="UIMode" value="Kiosk" />
+<string name="UIMode_passkey" value="aaaba" />
+</code>
+Here, the string ''aaaba'' refers to the SNES layout of face buttons. ''b'' = {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}}, ''a'' = {{:wiki:east.png?nolink&20|East button (A SNES)}}, ''x'' = {{:wiki:north.png?nolink&20|North button (X SNES)}} and ''y'' = {{:wiki:west.png?nolink&20|West button (Y SNES)}}
+This can be changed to any combination of face buttons. For example, to change it to {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}} {{:wiki:east.png?nolink&20|East button (A SNES)}} {{:wiki:north.png?nolink&20|North button (X SNES)}} {{:wiki:west.png?nolink&20|West button (Y SNES)}} {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (A SNES)}}:
+<code>
