PanelView C600 problem

I had a panelview C600 get wet and smoked it. I got another one, and thankfully I was on the ball and had the program backed up. So I loaded the program into the new screen, and installed it. My problem, I failed to change the IP address, now I cannot communicate with my plc, and I cannot access my configuration screen since it is password protected. Is there anyway to hard reset this screen? Or, access my configuration screen, easily?

This is a PanelView C600 cat. 2711C-T6T.

Welcome to the Forum!
You will need to restore the HMI to the Out-of-the-Box condition, re-enter the proper comms settings (including the IP Address)and then re-dowload the application.

Hello swtjhny,

there is another way to go to the config screen.

On a usb stick, create a autorun.bat. Even with no code.

Put the stick into the panel and it asks for autorun.
Select "yes" (F1).

Attatching the USB keyboard to the c600 and using the ctl+shift keys at boot up worked. Thank you very much.
