High Resolution Polling Wait protected by password

[MatiMarin]

Hello,

I have an issue with the High Resolution Polling Wait that may be resolved by doing this:

In order to do that, I need to go to the block diagram window, but the VI is protected by password. I have no idea what the password could be, and I'm stuck there.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It's not PW protected on my system.  What LV version are you using?

[MatiMarin]

Hi, Paul,

I run NI LabVIEW 2020 SP1 64 bits.

(Thanks for the laugh, by the way)

Same here. I can confirm that the diagram has a password. (might be an accidental oversight).

It is not password protected on LV 2019 64-bit windows10.

Are you using LV on Mac?

[MatiMarin]

No, Windows 10

Sorry y'all, that was me. We added the VI in LabVIEW 2018, where it had no password. Then, in LabVIEW 2020, it got password-protected by an automated process (run by me) because it calls some internal LabVIEW callbacks on Mac (as described somewhat in the KB entry linked above).

I've attached a non-password-protected copy to this reply, saved in LabVIEW 2020. You should be able to drop this in your vi.lib/Utility folder in LabVIEW 2020 or 2021 (backup the original first, just in case). I have filed Bug 1733037 to LabVIEW R&D to remove the password in a future LabVIEW release.

Hi Darren,

Thank you for your help, it was really kind of you.

Ni LabVIEW vi password protection becomes a joke. There are programs that open any password protected vi in less than 100ms
