Hi List. I have inherited a mess of a job in which, among other things, I need to reprogram an Omron CJ1M CPU11 PLC. The problem being that the previous contractor left the job midway and password protected the PLC so even though I can get online with the PC software (CX-Programmer), I can't reprogram it or even initilize the memory area because it fails with a "Can't initialize the memory area" error. I was thinking if there is an option I'm missing for factory resetting the PLC; I have no interest in the program already in it, just want to be able to use it with my own thing. Thanks in advance for any ponters.
