M251 User/Password Reset
I am trying to commission a project but the installed TM251MESE has already had a user/password set in it during testing which has since been forgotten.
I have read the instructions on factory resetting the cpu using an SD card but unfortunately I do not have access to a SD card or Card Reader as I am in a remote location.
I tried reflashing firmware using controller assistant but this also requires the password.
I am using Machine expert V2.2, but I beleive the intial config was done with V2.1.
Does anyone know any other method for forcing a factory reset to clear the security credentials in an M251 without using an SD Card?
