If the program is stored on the MMC card (external Flash card), simply resetting the internal RAM does not remove the password. Upon next power cycle, the CPU loads the password-locked program from the MMC again.
For the S7-300 CPU, a memory reset using the physical key switch is the primary method to wipe the working memory, which effectively removes the password barrier. However, note that if one is inserted. To clear the MMC card, follow the steps below with the MMC inserted:
Unlocking the S7300 PLC password can be challenging, but several methods and techniques are available. It is essential to follow best practices to prevent password-related issues and ensure secure access to the PLC. The use of third-party tools is not recommended, and users should rely on official Siemens software and techniques to avoid potential damage to the PLC.
Release the switch once the LED flashes, then quickly set it back to within 3 seconds and hold until the reset completes. Wiping the MMC
When dealing with a forgotten password, engineers generally have three main routes to make the PLC operational again: A. The Official Siemens Reset Method (Wipe and Restore)
Before attempting any password bypass work, you must verify ownership and legal authorization:
Locate the encrypted or plain-text string representing the password, depending on the firmware version of your CPU. 4. Software Tools and Exploits
The most straightforward "unlock" method is to erase the password entirely. However, this means losing the program.
For the average plant electrician: Do not waste days brute-forcing. Order a new MMC card, perform a memory reset, and request the original program from the OEM or the corporate engineering archive. If that archive doesn't exist—use this as a lesson to implement a password vault system (e.g., IT Glue or Keepass) for every future PLC project.
: You can check these settings in the Siemens SiePortal under the "Protection" tab in the CPU's hardware configuration properties. 4. Recovery via MMC Card Reader
Save the changes, open STEP 7, and open the block. The code will now be visible. Method 3: The Complete Factory Reset (Data Erasure)
The password is stored in a separate EEPROM chip. It is hashed and embedded within the System Data block (SDB) inside the internal RAM or MMC (Micro Memory Card). On older S7-300 units (CPU 312 to 318-2), the password is stored directly on the MMC card. On newer firmware, it resides in the internal flash.
