Forging the code on an ADT alarm system is a simple process that will only take you a few minutes of your valuable time. Thus, having one’s codes for a home security system makes it easier to safeguard one’s house and at the same time guarantee the safety of your home since it is accessible only to the intended individuals. Below are instructions to help you change the ADT alarm master code and the other user codes:
Things You'll Need:

Change Your ADT Alarm Master Code:
Step 1: Log into Your ADT Pulse Account The first step in accessing your account is to log into ADT Pulse, which is the main page for the service. If you have the ADT Pulse app, you can manage your alarm codes using your mobile phone application. On the face of it, open the application, enter the user name and password, and proceed to the tab that provides an option to alter the master PIN code. In case you have lost access or cannot use the mobile app, you can change your master code through the keypad.
Step 2: Enter the current master code of your Honda vehicle. 〈Go to your ADT alarm system keypad and then enter your present master code.
Step 3: switch on the television and go to the programming mode following the next steps below. Then press # or Pound as we often refer to it in the United States. You have now been able to get through to the programming section of your system by keying in *0# which will enable you to change your settings.
Step 4: Reset to the Master Code Second, press the number “1” for the master code change. Then input the 4-digit number you wish to use for your new master code. When done press the * button found at the bottom of the phone. This will store your new master PIN into the system.
Step 5: This step involves moving out of programming mode. Lastly, press 99 and press the * button on your phone while you are still on the call. This instructs your system that you want to stop the program mode. Congratulations, we have updated your new master code for you.

The user number will remain the same, however, a new code will be introduced which will be memorized and used to arm and disarm the system.
When programming new codes for your Alarm System keypad, keep in mind these recommendations:
- It is also important not to use certain strings like phone numbers, addresses, or birthdays that are quite easy to guess.
- It is good to change your Alarm codes at least once every year if you want to improve security.
- It is preferred that you memorize the Master Code instead of writing it down so that it is easily accessible to anyone.
- When inputting Master and User codes, ensure it is four digits or more
Therefore, it is recommended that you keep your alarm system user codes more manageable so that various levels of system access can not only be provided to all family members, home caretakers, or anyone who may be using the ADT system but also be controlled effectively. Simply changing each of the ADT security codes once in a while takes no more than five minutes and improves the security of your home.
