2GIG Edge: Resetting the Master Code

In her video debut, Aja from Alarm Grid shows you how to reset the 2GIG Edge Master Code. This alarm system has a default Master Code of 1111. However, this code is almost always changed away from the default, as keeping the code at the default presents a major security risk. If you keep the code at the 1111 default and an intruder tries that easily recognizable code, then they will be able to disarm the system and get full access to the building, without worrying about triggering a system alarm.

The Master Code on the 2GIG Edge Security System is primarily used for disarming the system. You can also use the code to access a limited selection of system settings. However, you will not be able to access as many settings with the Master Code as you can with the Installer Code. The Installer code cannot be used to disarm the system, so keeping the Installer Code at its default of 1561 does not present a security risk. In fact, Alarm Grid advises users to keep the Installer Code at the default to avoid being locked out of programming.

But the Master Code is a very different story. You should absolutely change the Master Code away from its default. But there are some rare circumstances where you might want to reset the Master Code back to the factory default of 1111. The main reason is if you are no longer intending on using the system, and you are selling it or giving it away to someone else. This includes if you are leaving the system behind when you move. By leaving the system with its Master Code at the default, the new user will be able to access the Users Menu so that they can change the Master Code to something else. The code can also be changed by performing a factory default of the Users setting. If you go and factory default the Users setting, then the Installer Code will be reset to 1561, the Master Code will be reset to 1111, and any added user codes will be deleted from the system.
