I am new to CODESYS, and I want to program a new FESTO, but I am getting this authentication screen. I don't remember the password. I tried with Administrator/Administrator and some other defaults I found online but nothing works.&lt;br/&gt;
I also tried searching for CODESYSControl_User.cfg and many other recommended directories but I dont seem to have any of them (like CODESYSControlWinV3x64)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could you please help me understand what I need to reset?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary></entry></feed>
