MPLAB IPE Help

Advanced Mode Login

Logging In

Typically, someone has been authorized to establish the settings that production will use for the device and tool. To input those settings, log in to the Advanced mode.

Select Settings>Advanced Mode to open the Advanced Mode login dialog. The password is case sensitive. Type in the default password microchip and click Log on.

Figure: Advanced Mode Login

Changing the Password

To change the password after the initial log on, click Change Password.

If you forget the new password, you must uninstall the IPE, delete the ipe.key file (located in the IPE install directory) to remove any settings made previously in IPE, then reinstall the IPE to begin with the default password microchip.

Staying Logged In

To start up the MPLAB IPE directly in Advanced mode without entering the password again, type the password, check the “Keep me logged in” check box (see Figure: Advanced Mode Login), then click Log on. A new installation or first time usage will launch the MPLAB IPE in basic mode. Once the “Keep me logged in” check box is checked, subsequent launchings will open in Advanced mode.

To cancel the automatic Advanced mode login, click Logout (see Figure: Cancel Keep Me Logged In) on the Advanced Settings dialog.
