Unlock Omron NX / NJ / NP Series PLC Password

1:37 · Published Feb 2026

Platform: Omron

Recover access to a password-protected Omron NJ or NX series controller programmed through Sysmac Studio. The protection involved is Omron's own "Data Protection" function — confirmed in Omron's own security advisories as the mechanism guarding programs on these controllers — and on some units a separate, controller-level authentication layer as well. If you'd rather have it handled, I provide manual Omron recovery support — done personally, with nothing sold or downloaded from this site.

What this walkthrough covers

  • Sysmac Studio Data Protection recovery
  • Controller-level authentication where applicable

Who this is for

  • You forgot or lost the password on your own Omron NJ / NX controller
