Hello Please Help Me

The Same issue I am facing with HITECH PWS6600-S HMI. I want to upload HMI old program but I am not able to do it can you please help me out How to upload it to my PC. Can you please tell me correct procedure.

Find out which COM port of the HMI is the PC cable plugged to.
When the HMI boots in the system menu, go to Confg, ensure the port is enabled and set it as Download/Upload/Copy port.
Then select the port configuration page by PgUp/PgDn, and see the communication parameters (do not change them).
The parameters must be matched in the ADP Options>Transmission Setup.
After that, you should be able to upload from File>Upload Application, if you are lucky and it is not password-protected. Otherwise, the 9-digit password must be entered on the HMI within 10 seconds.
If uploaded successfully, a .AA6 file will be created in the PC.
It must be decompiled into project .V6F file, using File>Reconstruct source. At this point, you will find out whether your ADP version supports the project.
I also recommend to activate "Auto-compile before downloading" in Options>Editing options.
Good luck, and welcome to ask more questions.

Thank Sir
I have selected communication port 2 and same in HMI Config page. I have uploaded "Application file" but when I tried to "Reconstruct" my windows show message "Unfortunately windows has stopped working" and if I say ok it exite from application.

HMI program is built up in year 2009. Now I am trying to upload it in ADP 6.10 version. Is it software version issue???

I don't think it's a version issue, as they are backwards-compatible.
See the personal message.

Password

Hello Guys!

I actually have an issue about the password.

The instructions that was posted by Sergei Troizky was correct.

However, I ran into a problem with the password. I am trying to download the application from the old HMI to the PC but the 9 digit developer password is needed.

Is there a way to crack the password?

Also, if I do a direct copy, will it ask for the developer password as well?

Never heard of possibility to crack the developer password, but did not really investigate, as never had a need in this.
Be careful with the terminology: "from HMI" is upload, not download.
I have seen people overwriting PLCs and HMIs and loosing the unit content irreversibly, after confusing up- and download.
Not sure what you mean by direct copy.

By the way: did you try the factory default developer password 222183600 ?
A chance is the programmer did not change it.
But be aware- this is not the same as Project Protection Password, which may be defined separately (or may be not, unlike the developer password, which must be defined).

Pws6600

Yes correct. Its actually upload, I got confused the first time as well.

The thing here is, the developer password i need from the previous engineer passed away. We have 6 system that need replacement HMI.

This is my dilemma right now.

I need help.

yes i did, multiple times.

I have memorized that number. You mean, the password being ask for me to upload the application is not the developer password?

No, I don't mean this; it is the developer password necessary for upload.
However, after successful upload the project may appear protected by Project Protection Password.

That could mean more trouble for me.

it is possible to find out the password but for this you need to read the flash memory dump. I myself was looking for a way from the forums but I never found it. After I read the password-protected HMI my way
