How to Reset the ADT Alarm PC 1555 Code

An ADT PC1555 alarm system has two types of access code: the master code that administers the system and access codes used by family members or employees for arming and disarming the system. Resetting either type of code requires the existing master code, for security reasons. You might want to reset your master code or one of your access codes if you suspect someone outside your circle of trust has access to your property. If your alarm protects a business, it's a good idea to cancel old alarm codes when employees leave.
