I don't understand which "hardware lock" you mean. Please more details..
RJ45 on AC 800M are for TCP/IP communication, not for dongle

That's something new for me
But I think address of this dongle should be specified in the crane application program (in Control builder).
In this case you can create bypass by changing application program.
P.S. This is not Ethernet port. This COM port (for connection using TK212 cable).

System library password cannot be removed because it have both attributes - "secured" and "released".
At least up to now I didn't found the way to make it.
I can only unrelease nonsecured and unsecure nonreleased.
"Know how" is complicated and require knowledgement in x86 assembler and decryption tables.
You upload project - I will send you a list of passwords (from all of password-protected libraries used in project).
