user function block password bypass

[Simon Tyrcha]

One of my user function blocks somehow received password protection, and I cannot access it for editing. Is there a way to bypass this feature?

No.

I'm using easySoft V8.25 build 4098 and have the same issue.
My user function was blocked by a password, but I didn't set one at all.
Now I can't access the code I wrote. What is going on? I've had this issue twice.

This has happened to me too.

I have 3 UF blocks in a program and the first one has now got password protection. Surely this is a bug, perhaps the program password prompt (which I have disabled) has been activated on the first UF in the program instead of the main program??

So frustrating.

To the other users experiencing this problem:

I have not found a solution other than to write my UFBs in a seperate program, save the file, then write the UFB using the UFB editor, adjust any bits as needed to go from a stand alone program, to being able to use discreet I/O for the UFB, name and save it.

If it self-assigns a password, you can reference your original prorgram, rewrite the UFB as a newer version, then use the REPLACE USER FUNCTION BLOCK function under the PROGRAM tab at the upper toolbar to replac e the corrupted UFB with the updated version.

As I write this, I am also realizing that if all UFB created used a generic passcode that you will never forget, then possibly it will not be able to self populate that field ...

I have not updated my IDE in a while. Maybe this issue has been resolved.

Cheers!
