Changing the passwords 
The second step in programming the panel is to change the level one, level two, and 
remote annunciator passwords.

the system.

2. Choose Password. 
3.  Enter a level two password. 
4.  Select the password to be changed: Level 1, Level 2, 
or Remote (Ann.). 
5.  Enter the old password and press Enter. 
6.  Enter the new password and press Enter. 
7.  Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each password to be 
changed.

Restoring the factory default settings 
Use the Restore Defaults command to overwrite most custom settings in the panel, 
the dialer (CMS network), or both. This lets you commission the panel as a common 
alarm system or to remove custom settings in preparation for advanced 
programming. 
Note: The current language, marketplace, and loop device configuration settings are 
not affected by the Restore Defaults command.
