Dialog box "Edit" > "Password for project access"

Dialog box "Edit" > "Password for device access"
● This password is requested in the case of password-protected write device access (e.g.
loading new configuration) or when going online (only in the case of protection level
"Project write/read protection").
● You can assign/change/reset the password for device access.

If you have forgotten the password for device access, you must restore the factory
settings of the MSS. You must do this on the safety relay because commands in MSS ES
are password-protected.
