Yep, I think you got yourself into a quandry.

It's likely that you've created an arming code with one digit  ........
number 8.
If that's so ...... now you can't get back into programing to change
it.

There isn't any battery to remove,  to default the panel, as suggested
by someone else. That was the 2600 that had a battery and I don't think
that removing it would have defaulted the panel anyway.

The only way to get into programing for either user or dealer, on the
1008 now, is by downloading it with the installers code or sending it
to some one to default it.
