Having Trouble Logging into Your Eurotherm Device? – We can help!

Eurotherm password help
6 November 2024

Eurotherm understands that your Process data needs to be kept secure. Therefore, they continually update their instruments to conform to the latest Cyber Security requirements (Certified to Achilles® CRT Level 1 Cybersecurity).

The Eurotherm Nanodac & Eurotherm 6000 series recorders force a password creation on initial power-up, which is incredibly difficult to recover if you forget it or get locked-out of the account. 

With previous firmware a Service User Account was available as a backdoor to remedy the situation. However, the latest revisions of the firmware have deleted these accounts to comply with the current Cyber Security standards. 

With the Nanodac, ADM can use a configuration clip & a terminal emulator to reset the Nanodac back to its factory default. We have already carried out this procedure for a few customers who no longer had the password that was set on initial power-up. Recorded data (UHH) files are not lost during this process.

Unfortunately, resetting the Eurotherm 6000 series is more complicated. A debugging cable is required to carry out a similar procedure. This means connecting directly to the micro board, which involves dismantling the recorder. If a cable is not available, the recorder needs to be sent back to Eurotherm in the UK. It should be noted that ADM does not possess a debugging cable. At the time of writing, ADM is in the process of obtaining a cable.

ADM recommends that customers record their passcodes in a secure place.  

The passcodes can be recorded in the comments of clone files. However, if you choose this method the clone file must be saved in a secure location. 

Otherwise, you may wish to save the passcode in a secure password manager. 

This would negate the need to pay ADM to reset and reconfigure the Nanodac.
