Resetting of your ADT alarm system password is crucial in protecting your home or business premises. A good password that only you will have an idea about as well as regular change of the password makes it difficult for a stranger to get access. Luckily, with ADT, you do not have to struggle hard when it comes to changing your alarm password; this is because you can do it either through the control panel or the web portal.

Things You'll Need:

  • At present, your current ADT alarm system password
  • A new password that you would like to implement

The first step is to create an anonymous account password that will be used in creating the new password to be entered into the account. If adding a new ADT alarm password, see to it that it is not an easily guessable one by hackers or other unauthorized personnel. It is good to avoid numbers such as 1234 or the number that represents the year you were born. A good password should contain both letters in upper and lower cases, numbers, and maybe a symbol.

Passwords for the ADT can include up to 8 digits so you may wish to use an important date or number to you combined with another digit or two. But once created, do not share it with anyone or post it online since it is very risky to do that.

Secondly, the affected user needs to log in to the control panel and change the password immediately. You should also know that if you have an ADT control panel installed indoors at your home or office you can easily modify the current password with a new password from the panel.

First, you have to punch the master code in the digital keypad on the panel. This may be given to you by ADT or preset to 1-2-3-4 etc in the initial stage of programming. If you have lost it, you can contact ADT customer support, and they will help you to reset a master code.

Second, locate the password control option on your ADT alarm keypad through the menu button until you get to the prompt of altering the password. It may be listed as something like “Access Codes. ”

Lastly, to complete the new 4-8 digit ADT security password, type in the details as shown on the panel instructions. Ensure that you select a good one because you will require this password for documenting and unlocking the system in the future.
