Can't import password protected knxproj
After hitting 'Import data from ETS' and selecting the .knxproj file, nothing happens if the file is password protected. Non password protected files are loaded.

Hello,
I don't remember seeing anything about importing password protected .knxproj files.
But, if you have the access to the original .knxproj file, which means you know the password, you can either:
- Remove the password from the project
- Export the .knxproj file without password
- Put the password back
Or
- Don't Remove the password
- Export the file but by choosing OPC, which will transfer the .esf file with all of the group addresses
If you don't have access to the original file, which means you may received a project from someone that forgot that it's password protected, than kindly ask to export as OPC format, so you can have the .esf file.
The .esf file contains everything you need to work in bOS.
You can also export the group addresses inside ETS to XML format, which is acceptable from bOS.
Hope it helps
Best regards
Thank you for help!
It would be nice to be able a password protected knxproj instead of the esf.
Hi,
I had the same problem.
What I find is right click on your project and select -> duplicate -> as a new project
Click on DETAILS on this new project -> you will have to put same password like for root project to open it
Click agian DETAILS, after click CHANGE PASSWORD, and on pop up menu in left corner you will find button "Clear password". Click on it and it will clear passwor and you will be able to export .knxproj and open it in bOS :)
If I am doing the same on orygin project not on the copy, I am not able to clear password :/
