Re: V20p with wierd installer code

I thought that the power down power up and holding "*" & "#" got you in
without installer code on Vista stuff.

Has anyone ever found an installer code that went something like this: 0 , 8
, 0 , 10 .
The ten is not a mistake. This code was in a board that we had once
tookover-had not been locked out by the original company. We do lock them
out so that no one will tinker with any of our programming while we are
monitoring a system. It is a liability issue with us.
The renter moved out and a new guy moved in. He went with the old company.
He moved out and the newest renter called us. Thinking this would be an easy
'retake-over', the board was found to be locked out. Did not have our old
code in it. So another board was put in and this one was "examined".
First, there was no way for the original company to have known our installer
code for 'this' system. After tinkering with it without knowing the code and
not using software, we were able to get into it to read the "supposed new
code" of the original company. That is how we got the 0,8,0,10. We hit #20
several times to make sure.

The 10 can only be put there by using  *20   0 8 0 #10. So the question is
this, Why would the original company put this in and how can they get back
into programming after having done something like this? You cannot key in
0,8,0,#10  8,0,0 to get into programming. Tried it, didn't work. So.....for
the clever and wise and learned ones in this audience, I await your response
to this riddle. This should get some mileage out of these posts.

Thanks in advance.
