Hey guys, the house I moved into has a DSC alarm, however I don't know the installer/master/user codes. I cannot get a hold of the previous owner, and there is no stickers on the windows/doors to know which company installed it. Is there a way for me to reprogram the codes myself, or do I need to call an alarm company to reprogram it?

Try 5010, 4112, 1234, 6321 or 5555. If all else fails you can try the link below but understand that all programming will be lost/rest and you'll need to program each zone again.

good luck

Let us know what model it is on the alarm panel and how you make out.

If you completely power the panel down ( remove belattery and ac), upon power up you can find if installer lock has been activated. If thelock is active the panel will click for 3-4 seconds upon power up. If this clicking occurs, you're probably looking at a new board, and depending on age of things a keypad and more.

If you are in the GTA, you can try this

found-installer-code-dsc-alarm-2359969/

It's a long shot but might as well try.

just a side note, factory resetting it also deletes your zone configurations, you need to re-configure them, not an easy task, better to try all available codes first.

Well I defaulted the panel and started fresh, I used this guide to program: https://www.alarmsystemstore.com/pages/ ... quickstart
Everything is up and running!!! Thanks everyone for the help, the programming looks intimating at first, but it wasn't too hard after following the guide.
