Procedure

Remove the Keypad From its Back Plate

The keypad is locked into the back plate.

  2. Remove the keypad by lifting it up and away from the back plate.

Remove the Internal Back Plate

The keypad has an internal back plate held in place with 4 Phillip's head screws.

Identify the PUK Code

The PUK code will be on a white sticker on the back of the keypad itself. Note this code down.

Enter "11111" Then Press 8

The keypad will give a long beep at this step. This long beep is fine. If you hear 2 short beeps at this point, the master password is "11111" and you don't need to reset it.

Re-Enter the PUK Code Then Press 8

The keypad will give two short beeps indicating the master password has been reset back to "11111". Confirm the master password was reset by typing in "11111" followed by 9, you should hear two short beeps.

  3. Lock the keypad into place.
