Sir, without the master code, you must enter installer programming mode to
change the master (*8 function). From there, after changing it back to a
known code, you can enter other codes or change the master code and other
user codes from the keypad directly using the star 5 function. However, it
is not likely any company will give you the installer code for a number or
valid reasons. This leaves you the only option of defaulting the panel to
factory which means you must be able to reprogram the panel yourself. This
is not a fun thing to do unless you have done it before !

Your best option might be to contact the original company and have them dial
in and change the master code back to 1234. From there you can handle it
yourself. They may quite legitimately charge you for this service.

The other option would be to change the board for a new one, but then you
face the same task of reprogramming all the functionality of the alarm
system once again.

Most of these systems are not particularily DIY user friendly.....

I can tell you from experience that BG lock the Install code so even when
you default the panel, you cant do any programming and you will probably
need to put resistors in the unused circuits to get it working again.

BG don't lock the code, but they do have their own engineer code as default

The panels are spot on and take about 10 minutes to program
