This file is compressed and (probably) split.
You'd better explain to experts where you got it and why do you think the passwords are stored in there.

Thanks for the reply. This file is backup of HMI M C G S T P C. We can run it with run time. I want to know exact password location and want to change its password by editing with WinHex. As I do not have the real project.

1. Open file in WinHex - you'll see a ZIP-similar header OR try to compress this file with WinRAR/7Zip and see the compression rate (about 99%)
Conclusion: file is compressed.
2. Check the file size: exactly 1 048 576 bytes (1.0 Mb)
(Probable) conclusion: file was split.
Thus, if the password was stored in file somewhere, it is compressed and can't be seen in the Hex-editor.
If you don't have an original project try to pick password up using debugger (connect to the application when it requests for a password). However, there are still no warranties that you can get it - HMI can do a password comparison inside and send to the PC only comparison result.
