Proface Hmi: Password Unlock
| Practice | Implementation | |----------|----------------| | | Store all ProFace passwords in an encrypted vault (e.g., Bitwarden, Keepass) accessible to at least two maintenance engineers. | | Password-Protected Backup | In GP-Pro EX, use Project -> Security -> Create Backup File with Password Recovery Token . Save the .RBA file offsite. | | Hardware Key Storage | For SP5000 series, enable "Hardware Security Key" option; the password is stored on a USB dongle, not in the HMI. | | Annual Access Test | Verify that at least one password (Level 15) is known and functional by performing a test logout/login every 6 months. |
If you want, tell me your exact Pro-face model (full model number) and whether you have a project backup and I’ll provide the precise reset steps from the manual for that model. proface hmi password unlock
