access authorization can be entered in the DIAGNOSTICS operating area
through selection of softkey SET PASSWORD.

/BAD/, User's Guide HMI Advanced
Please note that a password remains valid until the access
authorization is directly reset with the "Delete password" softkey.
Access authorization is therefore not automatically deleted during POWER
ON!
Up to 8 characters can be used in the password. We recommend that you re-
strict yourself to the character set of the operator panel in selecting a password.
Where a password consists of less than eight characters, the additional charac-
ters are interpreted as blanks.
The following password levels are defined for protection levels 1 to 3:
Protection level 1 SUNRISE
Protection level 2 EVENING
Protection level 3 CUSTOMER
Note
These passwords are entered as the defaults on system power–up in startup
mode (NCK startup switch in position 1).
The default passwords should be changed in order to guarantee reliable
access protection.
Access protection via password and keyswitch
