Unlock Siemens S7-200 / S7-300 FB Password (MMC Backup Method)
Recover a Function Block password on a Siemens S7-200 or S7-300 CPU using an MMC (Micro Memory Card) backup of the project. This is a technique I developed for this specific situation, rather than a procedure published by Siemens — useful when you have a card backup but not the password that goes with it. If you'd rather have it handled, I provide manual Siemens recovery support — done personally, with nothing sold or downloaded from this site.

Who does the recovery?
I do, personally. Every job is manual — it isn't automated with a tool and it isn't resold to anyone else.
Do I have to own the equipment?
Yes. I only help owners and authorized maintainers regain access to their own projects — in line with the authorized-use-only policy on the channel.
Do you sell a tool or a download for this?
No. There are no tools for sale and no downloads on this site. Recovery is a manual service I perform or guide you through.
