MPLAB® IPE Advanced Mode Login
By default, MPLAB® Integrated Programming Environment (IPE) is in Production Mode when launched. To view and change the settings for programming operations, and set up secure environments for production programming, you need to operate MPLAB IPE in Advanced Mode. Typically, someone has been authorized to establish the settings that production will use for the device and tool. To input those settings, the authorized person needs to log in to Advanced Mode.
Advanced Setting Window
Click Settings from the MPLAB IPE toolbar and select Advanced Mode.
Advanced Mode Logon
The Advanced Mode login dialog box appears. Type in the default password, "microchip", and click Log in. The password is case-sensitive.
After validating the password to log in to Advanced Mode, the dialog opens in the Operate option view. This display is similar to the main display, with the addition of option buttons located along the left side of the window.
