Unlock Siemens TIA Portal Project Password
Recover or remove the project-protection password on a Siemens TIA Portal project so you can get back into work you legally own. TIA Portal lets an engineer set a project password to stop unauthorized changes — useful protection while they're on the job, but a real problem once that password is lost or the person who set it is gone. If you'd rather have it handled, I provide manual Siemens recovery support — done personally, with nothing sold or downloaded from this site.
What this walkthrough covers
- Project protection password (TIA Portal, generally V13 and later)
- UMAC — User Management & Access Control — on TIA Portal V19 and later with S7-1500 firmware 3.1+
- Projects for S7-1200, S7-1500, S7-300 and S7-400 built in TIA Portal
Supported software & hardware
- TIA Portal V13 through V20
- Project files .ap13–.ap20
- UMAC-protected projects (V19 and later, local users or synced via a UMC server)
Who this is for
- You forgot or lost the project password on your own TIA Portal project
- A previous engineer left and no password record was kept
- You've inherited a locked TIA Portal project you legally own
- You need to back up, modify, or audit a legacy project

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.
