It depends on the programmer and or the company they work for. Password protecting a PLC program is usually only used when the Code is Proprietary for example. If it is password protected, and you have the password, and you can find someone to connect to the PLC, ask them to remove the Password protection. There is really no reason for it to be password protected, If you lose the password it makes it very tough to access the Code. What you want is the .RSS file, that is your PLC program.
