Protection levels
Overview
The SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED provides a concept of protection levels for enabling data areas. Different protection
levels control different access rights.
The control system delivered by SIEMENS is set by default to the lowest protection level 7 (without password). If the
password is no longer known, the control system must be reinitialized with the default machine/drive data. All passwords are
then reset to default passwords for this software release.
Note
Before you boot the control system with default machine/drive data, make sure that you have backed up your machine/drive
data; otherwise, all data are lost after rebooting with default machine/drive data.
