I don't care about programs and tool offsets but I sure don't want to loose all the tweaks the motors and ball screws got at the factory. because the machine sat for 5 years without running, part of he memory has been lost according to the manual. 50 hrs is all you get without power before you loose it. This controller has no battery backup. I am in the process of trying to do a data save to my PC before I turn that start up switch to the #1 setting. Any more thoughts are appreciated! thanks
You can ask Siemens if there is higher level password, which could reset all the lower level passwords.
For example, the level 2 password can reset password of Level 3, 4, 5.
