Within 30 seconds of power up press *and # simultaneously. Display should say 20, if you press *20 1234 then *99 to exit programming. Your system should be disarmed and your install code should now be 1234. You can then use this code to change the master code.

The key for the panel is supplied from the distributor and you need to be a certified installer to open an account and buy one, A good old big flat screw driver will open the pannel as well but the lock will be useless after that LOL! (you could screw the dore shut with #6 sheet metal screws after) than you can go on the Ademco's web site to serch for the default code of your alarm panel model but if the installer changed it than you have to reset the panel to factory default and re-program it... (unless the installer activated the installers lock up) than you need the code from the last installer that serviced the panel... if not than you need to send the board to Ademco to have it unlocked or change the board for a new one... (you will still have to re-program everything from scratch...

That's what security is all about!!! $$$$

THE BEST WOULD BE CONTACTING THE LAST INSTALLER FOR SERVICE...

The first thing to try would be to disconnect the mains supply and remove the internal battery for a minimum of 5 minutes and then reconnect it.

If this doesn't reset the system then remove the mains supply and battery again for another 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes reconnect the battery.

Then with the help of a friend try holding the # & * keys while they turn the mains supply back on.

These are generic resets for most house alarms but I'll keep looking if there's a specific one for your system so if neither of these work just let me know.

If I find anything else in the mean time I'll add to this post.

You have to run a system test. enter your code then press 5. If that does not work try entering your code then press 5 then 0. it all depends on system type. let system test run for about 2-5 minutes it sould reset. Ademco 6150 6150pl3 6150pl2 these identify your keypad model not system type.check your control box to identify your panel. Sould be like Ademco vista 10, 20, 20p

This thing can't be reset,must have the original codes to used the system.Cancel the monitored service,when u all set to move in or sale it.Have to put in a new alarm system.

We need more information. The answer is different for different models and Ademco has dozens of models. Tell us the model of your control panel, usually on the inside of the panel cabinet door) and we can help you.

without knowing the system type I can only guess. try entering 4 digit code then 1. if you don't know the code and have never really used system try 1234 then 1. this is assuming you have an ademco panel.

I assume that you do not have an alarm code to turn the system off.Contact the Professor and he can walk you through a defaulting of the alarmpanel.

Sounds like you need to reset the master code!

Depends on the version of panel you have... 13 years? could be a Vista-10 or 4110...

Either way, use the installing code to reset the master code. This information should be written down in the manual (as is customary upon installing the system for events like this). If the manual is lost, consult the internet for a copy (for your panel type and model) and try the factory default codes that are listed in that manual. If the "ready" light is on, and the keys "beep" when you press them then it should certainly work!

Another option would be to have a security technician come out and check it for you, but that would likely cost around $75 ($50 for first hour labor, and $25 for the trip fee), but you'll get fully informed of all of your options.

If your system is monitored then contact your monitoring company and they should be able to fix it for you for nearly nothing since you won't likely pay them the monthly fee unless you have a working system!

Another option would be to get monitoring for the system and the company will likely update the whole system to todays standards free of charge in exchange for gaining a new customer, but make sure you ask for new motion detectors, the old ones are a common cause of false alarms.


Good Luck!
