Stefan,
I can't help on the unset parameter, but the timer reset is a special =
option under the parameter window.
The unfortunate issue may be that parameters can't be unset for someone =
not enrolled in the course.
For example, as a course coordinator I can do problems (actually I can =
access them without regard to
the time limit, I think), but then I can't find a place to reset them as =
I might for a student, since I'm not
officially enrolled.
You might look to see if there is a special privilege that would allow =
unfettered access and perhaps=20
create a custom role.
Back to proctoring my exam :) Good Luck Stefan!
Mark

Parameters are set on folder level, such as open date, due date, timer, =
etc. Nothing really special.
