Re: New House Alarm - Am I locked out?

[tourman <robercampbell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just a point of clarification....Jim Rojas does it for all of the USA
and I (and one other person on the west coast), do if for Canada
(saves border hassles). And yes, the board can usually be unlocked
without messing up the existing programming. There is someone in the
USA on the Califormia coast who offers a gimmicky but slightly risky
way of doing it with a widget they have invented...www.unlocker.com.
Dunno if it works on this make of board though...

It's far less hassle just to buy another board and start fresh. Most
of the low end alarm equipment today is in the same league as computer
equipment...any problems, just throw it away. Besides, learning to
program it from the getgo will allow you the freedom to make changes
later on (assuming you don't hook up with another company for
monitoring)
