NOT ALWD AO. ???

Rowe AMI CD100
Set for Free Play including entire albums. Changed out some disks a few days ago and everything was initialized with out any problems.
Played my albums front to back like it should.

I tried to play the album at position #63 yesterday and got a message reading " NOT ALWD AO" . The album would not play.

I checked my manual and eventually found a NOT ALWD topic but I'm completely lost. It did not have anything that read NOT ALWD AO.
Apparently this disk is Locked Out.

I've only had the jukebox for a bit over a month and it came with 100 CD's - some of which I never played. The disk in position #63 was one of those.
The previous owner must have locked out the disk in that position. I was not aware of that.

So my question is, How do I reset the lock out ?  I want to be able to play that disk. If you can "Lock Out" a disk, you should be able to reverse that again.

Next, I've seen a posting on another site that read NOT ALWD "IO". Not "AO" like mine. Does anybody know what the "AO" means on my message.?

Thanks,

Malenko:
I can tell you it stands for "not allowed Adults Only"

so find some sort of age limit setting and disable it.

Keats:
Thanks for the reply.
I have read the manual and there is nothing in there RE: Age.
I believe that the AO refers to Autoplay Only. 
A bit confusing but here's what I think it means.
 
A particular disk can be "Locked Out" so no  customers can play it.
It's reserved as an Auto Play only to generate interest in the juke box so that a customer will put $$ into it to make it play some other tunes.

I'm just not sure how to disable that feature. I think it's in the 40's section of the keypad and somehow it can be toggled on / off.

I did not set it up this way. I believe that it was already set up and I did not know about it. The machine came with some really lame CD's on it.
Not playing #63 because it was so lame never gave me a chance to notice that that slot was locked out for Auto Play only. I'm thinking...
So thanks again

Malenko:
is there a factory reset / battery to pull?  Might cause more harm than good. If it was me I would just leave 63 empty and consider it a ROWE AMI CD99   ;D

Ken Layton:
To reset to factory defaults:

Set NORM/SERVICE switch to "service".

Set the power switch located next to the NORM/SERVICE to "OFF".

Press and hold keyboard 0 and 1 keys.

Turn power switch back on and wait until display says "Loading Defaults" and release the 0 and 1 keys.

All factory defaults settings will be restored.

You will need to "clear errors" (function 81) and re-initialize the discs (function 30).

Also, the factory default setting is coin operation. If you need to set it to Free Play then do the following:

Enter service mode.
Type 55 (pricing, option 5).
Press and hold Reset and 9 buttons at once.
Press "Popular" to lock it into free play mode.
