How to modify HMI passwords

[AaronS]

Introduction:

Each HMI uses four levels of password protection: History, User, Update Project, and System Setting. Each level is protected by a password, which must be modified from the default setting of “111111.”

• User level can operate the cMT project through a cMT viewer.
• History level allows cMT Viewer and FTP server access.
• Update Project level allows cMT Viewer and FTP server access. Users can also load and retrieve the HMI project.
• System Setting level allows access to all system settings and is the highest level of security.
