In Australia and New Zealand, the grid code is notoriously strict. The password for AS/NZS 4777.2:2020 is NOT public. However, based on industry feedback, the following process works:
Do not waste time trying 1234.
If you are using the Remote VEConfigure tool (via VRM Portal), the password is unique to your installer account.
But it is rarely that simple. If 00000000 fails, try these secondary defaults:
Understanding why this exists helps you accept it. Here is how grid codes affect your Victron behavior:
In every case above, entering the default password (00000000) merely unlocks the menu; you still have to pick the correct code for your region.
Unlocking the grid code is easy, but selecting the wrong code is where things get expensive.
If you are an installer, simply unlocking the grid and picking a random standard to "get it working" is dangerous. If you set the unit to "Island Mode" or "Allow feed-in" without the proper grid protections enabled, you may be violating local laws and voiding insurance policies.
The Professional Workflow:
After years of supporting Victron systems, the standard default password is well-known within the professional community. However, Victron Energy reserves the right to change this password per firmware version or region.
As of the latest firmware (Venus OS v3.1+ and VictronConnect v6.0+), the most commonly used password is:
Perform a full factory reset of the inverter to its "unconfigured" state. On a MultiPlus/Quattro:
Note: This erases all settings (input current limits, assistant programs, etc.). After a reset, some users report the grid code menu is temporarily open. However, on newer firmware, it remains locked.
