Safety Configuration and Verification

Set and Change a Password

You can protect the system configuration by using an optional password. If you
set a password, edits to the configuration, as well as safety-locking and safety
option reset operations require the password to be entered. You can set a
password when the safety option is not safety-locked and the P6 [Operating
Mode] parameter value equals 0 (Program).

Follow these steps to set a new password.

1. If you previously configured a password, enter the password by using the

P1 [Password] parameter.

2. Enter the new password by using the P13 [New Password] parameter.

3. Set the P17 [Password Command] parameter to 1, which equals Change

Password.

Resetting the Password

If you forget the password and need to reset it, follow these steps.

1. Read the contents of the P18 [Security Code] parameter.

2. Contact Rockwell Automation Technical Support (440-646-5800) and

provide the Security Code value and the serial number of the safety option.
A technical support representative will use the security code to calculate a
Vendor Password value.

3. Enter the value provided by your Rockwell Automation Technical Support

representative into the P19 [Vendor Password] parameter.

4. Set the P17 [Password Command] parameter to 2, which equals Reset

Password.

5. Enter the new password by using the P13 [New Password] parameter.

6. Set the P17 [Password Command] parameter to 1, which equals Change

Password.
