The S7-200 (Non-MMC vs. MMC)

  • Older S7-200 (CPU 21x): Used EEPROM cartridges. Password was stored in the CPU itself. Harder to brute force.
  • Later S7-200 (CPU 22x): Uses a standard MMC card (often 2GB or less). The password hash and the compiled program reside on the card.

Methods for Unlocking MMC Password

Unlocking an S7-200 typically involves the STEP 7-Micro/WIN software.

For the S7-200, passwords are often stored in internal EEPROM. If you don't need the current program, you can wipe the CPU:

  1. Siemens Original MMC Formatting: Use SIMATIC Manager > PLC > Format MMC. This erases all data, including passwords.
  2. Service contract with Siemens: They can unlock units with proof of ownership (requires shipping the MMC/CPU to Germany).
  3. Third-party services: Companies like plccable.com offer MMC password removal using hardware dongles (e.g., "S7 Unlocker").
