This forum has come along way since you all first helped me hack into a CVS camera in 2006, after I had read an article about it in Make magazine! I permanently mounted the camera in a model rocket that has been used the last two years in our Cub Scout Pack rocket derby. Unfortunately, it has endured several hard landings and some pretty rough ground handling from curious boys, and is in need of replacement. I recently purchased another camera, and after my original steps failed miserably to unlock it- I came here to get the scoop. Of course, I have the dreaded new "17" code, and would very much like someone to help.
As proof of prior exploits, below are three links to the "official" rocket derby video clips:

Here's an artistic (kind -of) picture I took while walking around Sherando Lake (VA) this fall.
And finally, an attempt, though pathetic, at haiku:
Rockets fly skyward
Video for all to see
Cub scouts smile and laugh

As always: many, many, thanks- the efforts here have brought lots of "ooohas and aaaahs" to our scouts
