HELP - Please!

I had an erroneous CEL error which my mechanic finally reset by disconnecting the battery. The good news is I can finally smog my '01 Boxster S. The bad news is I've lost my stereo and need to get the reset codes (which my mechanic informed me might ONLY be found on the back of the radio - meaning I'd have to pull it out). Hooboy! Anyway I came to find that you can get the reset code by pressing the "tp" button on the stereo for about 10s. "Becker1" will appear on the stereo display. Turn the tune button to the right and various codes appear. The first code is some sort of stereo identifier (4 digits), follwed by the reset code (8 digits), the cdplayer code (2 alpha and 4 numeric digits), and some other stuff. The radio asks for a 12 digit code to reset. Anyone know which combination might work? OR do I really have to pull the stereo?

Any help would be tremendously appreciated!! :ah:
