This is the most common point of confusion. Even after executing a memory reset, the "Confidential Configuration Data" password persists in the internal flash memory. To erase this final password, you check the specific Delete password for protection of confidential PLC configuration data option when using TIA Portal online functions. If you reset without this option, you will have an empty PLC that still asks for the configuration password.
The ease with which an S7-1500 can be reset via a memory card highlights a fundamental tenet of ICS security:
Check if the block was imported from a global library where the source code might still be unprotected.
The physical display on the front of most S7-1500 CPUs provides a direct interface to execute a factory reset without needing the TIA Portal software. Step-by-Step Instructions:
Place the card into an SD card reader connected to an engineering PC running TIA Portal.
, as there is no "password recovery" feature for security reasons. This process erases all user data, including the program, IP address, and hardware configuration. Primary Reset Methods Via TIA Portal (Online & Diagnostics) : If you have network access to the CPU, you can use the Siemens Industry Online Support Online and Diagnostics view for the CPU. Navigate to Reset to factory settings Choose whether to retain or delete the IP address and click Via the CPU Display : If the PLC has a built-in display, you can navigate to Factory Settings
2. The Primary Solution: Resetting via the SIMATIC Memory Card (SMC)
The CPU will now be in a "Factory" state with no password, allowing you to download a new project from the TIA Portal. 3. Resetting via the Built-in Display

STEP 7 is a legacy programming software for Siemens PLCs. If you're still using STEP 7, you can reset the password using the following steps:
Confirm the action. (Note: If the "Complete Reset" option is disabled via software, this method may not work). 4. Resetting via TIA Portal (Online Tools)
Reinsert the card into the CPU and power it on. The CPU will now be empty and ready for a new download without a password prompt. 2. Reset to Factory Settings (TIA Portal)
Open Windows File Explorer and navigate to the card directory.
Check the box "Delete password for protection of confidential PLC configuration data" if applicable. Click Reset and confirm the prompt. 3. Reset via the CPU Display
Q: What happens if I forget the password and can't reset it? A: If you forget the password and can't reset it, you may need to contact Siemens support or a qualified technician to regain access to the PLC.
