John tried to recall if anyone had mentioned the password change, but no one seemed to know the new password. He decided to investigate further and spoke to the team members who had access to the PMC system. They all claimed they didn't know the password.
Password protections on industrial controllers like FANUC’s PMC exist to prevent unauthorized access that could lead to unsafe machine operation, production downtime, intellectual property theft, or physical damage to equipment. Attempting to circumvent them, even for legitimate troubleshooting, typically violates equipment terms of use, may breach software licensing agreements, and could constitute an illegal act under computer fraud and misuse laws depending on your jurisdiction.
