With Version 3.0 and later , the CLICK PLUS PLC ( and Click Ethernet PLC’s) ship from the factory with a default username and password. (The default password is "click".) When you connect to the CLICK for the first time from the software the default password will be required. This helps greatly reduce the chances of malicious software taking control of the PLC with easy-to-guess or publicly disclosed default login credentials.
