Re: [?]: unpassword RSlogix 500
Hi All,
I find some information in help file.
Subroutine Protection Password
The MicroLogix 1400 has a Locked Ladder File (View Disable) feature that allows a ladder file to be protected from viewing if a user does not have the correct password. The View Disable feature can be applied to an existing ladder file or one that is just being created.
A ladder file can be locked by using the View Disable check box on either the Program File Properties dialog box (for an existing file) or the Create Program File dialog box (when creating a new ladder file). The View Disable feature is cleared by default. Check the box to lock the ladder file.
The View Disable parameter must be cleared manually regardless of the status of a password. Deleting the password will not automatically clear the View Disable parameter.
The password can be configured in two ways: on the Passwords tab of the Controller Properties dialog box or on the Ladder Lock Password Configuration dialog box.
