Hello,
I just moved back into my house in Italy that I have been renting out for the last 7 years. Back then, we had the Ademco LYNXRH-IT installed and running. The last tenant we had living here was complaining the system kept false alarming, the installer we had for the system was arrested for robbing the houses he was installing the systems in (ours did get robbed after the system was installed, 3 times) therefore I cannot call him back, so the tenant just pulled the red cable to shut it off.
Now that we are back in the house, I am trying to get the system working but I do not know the master code. I have downloaded a user manual for the system and it tells me I need a master code to do some things. How do I completely reset the system to factory defaults, even for the master code. This way i can reprogram the zones and get the system working again.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

First, if you don't have one, get the installer manual.
Like nearly all Ademco design alarms, if you press * + # within 50 seconds of restoring power, it will jump into programming mode.
press #20 and it will read back the installer code 1 digit at a time.
Exit programming with *99, then use the installer code to set a new master user code.
