piadmin
 user password and security settings.
To reset the default admin password
  1. Click the
    Advanced
     tab and then click
    Restore Defaults
    .
    The
    Restore Defaults
     page appears.
  2. Click
    Reset Security
    .
    A message appears asking you to confirm the action.
  3. Click
    OK
    .
You can now access default administrator functions. The default password for the
piadmin
 user is empty. It is important to change the default
piadmin
 password after you log in.
TIP:
You can also reset the password from the Logix Designer interface. For details, see Configure the module properties.
