Hi guys, I'm working on a SLC 5/02 that is asking for a password. I've tried the old AB backdoor password, but without success. I reached out to my AB rep who said it's not feasible to bypass or to swap the EPROM into another SLC 5/02 board. I don't have a copy of the RSS file to dig through in a hex editor for the password. I'm connecting directly to the RJ45 port with AB's DH-485 adapter.
Is there anything I can do? My Google-fu has failed me here, and all the forum posts are along the lines of "We don't talk about that".
I would really like to be able to fly home before the holiday weekend instead of re-writing the entire program because the password was tribal knowledge that left when the controls guy before me quit.
I've got another SLC 5/02 getting overnighted in case I can't into the one currently in use but rewriting a whole program is going to put me days behind on getting this equipment back up and running.
I know it's a longshot but maybe someone here has dealt with this and found an answer that I am unable to find.
