When you first install your Honeywell Lyric Security System control panel, it will come installed with a default master code. The master code is the default primary user that will use this code to arm and disarm the system as well as enable features and functions on the control panel.

Every Lyric system comes with the same default master code. It is imperative to change the code as soon as possible to avoid possible by pass of your system. However, sometimes the new master code can be forgotten. This video will teach you how to reset the master code.

Unlike changing the master code, a rest of the master code will set the code back to factory default, which is 1234. To reset the master code you will need to know the installer code. If you are looking to change the master code, and not reset it, we have a tutorial video on that process in our video library.

To reset the master code, follow along with the video. You will start on the home screen and access the Security menu and then the Tools menu. You will need to enter the installer code when prompted for a code.

From the Tool sub menu you need to enter Program and then press the down arrow. The video will take you through each step of the process. One of the options you will see will be “Reset Master Code.”

When you press “Reset Master Code” you will be shown a confirmation prompt. The only options are yes and no. If you press no, the system will return tot he previous menu and the prompt will disappear.

When you hit yes, to confirm you want to rest the master code, the prompt will disappear and you will also be returned to the previous menu screen. The difference here is that the master code for the Lyric Security System control panel has been reset.

As the video will explain, there is no confirmation that it was changed, it just changes behind the scenes to the factory default code of 1234.

Press the back arrow until you are back on the home screen and then enter the tools menu again. This time, use the default master code of 1234 to access the master level of programming. You will access the master level menu, which tells you the code has been reset and that it works.

From this point you should view our video on changing the master code and change the master code to a 4-digit code you will remember.

While it is advised to never write down any code for your Honeywell Lyric system, the number you change it to should be easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.
