This code is the default code, which we ask you not to post as per forum rules. It will have been changed by the original installer. Can you see the potential problem if it was not changed...? 32 minutes ago, John 4 said: so looks like I'll have to get alarm specialist out to take a look ....... This is an obsolete system prone to sudden failure. I have replaced many, usually they fail at 3am with sirens blazing, or perhaps during a holiday. 32 minutes ago, John 4 said: Shame I thought someone on this site could give me a solution....... The solution is to default the system, though not the best one. We don't give that information out on here, you would rightly be very annoyed if a burglar could simply log in here and gain access to your system, surely? 2 Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 4 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 You can find the engineer code within 2 minutes but clearly whoever installed the alarm has changed that default code anyway this site has given me no useful answers so I'll be withdrawing from it very disappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
