Okay, so yesterday afternoon when I was trying to change the secondary passcode, I pressed the mastercode+8(code)+02+the new code I wanted. Not what I should have done. I wasn't supposed to press 02, it should have just been 2. The keypad started showing numbers and after about ten minutes "Check 09" was displayed. The motion detector and the rear of the house (doors and windows) are being the detected, but the front door is not. Now the key pad is showing "Check 12, 22, 11, 71, 57, 37, 67, and 97". Can someone tell what I have done? And what I need to do to fix it? The control panel states Ademco 4110xm and the keypads are Ademco 6127, if that helps.
Thanks in advance.

You accientally entered program mode and somehow entered the keystrokes to turn off the wireless receiver (at least).
Hopefully you didn't fumble around too much and change too many things.
This is why later ademco models seperated the master code and the installer code.
Try this:
[master code] + 8 + 0
*24 00
*99
This is based on the assumption that you have the typical 5800 series wireless receiver. If you have the older 5700 series transmitters, you will need to look at the dip switches on a transmitter to figure out the correct house ID to set.

If you kept poking around, it's hard to know what you may or may have not changed.

Thanks for your help.....
I did what you said to do, now the keypad is displaying "FC". I found the manual and program code form earlier today. I don't seem to see where it tells what "FC" means.
Have really just screwed this alarm up?

FC means failure to communicate. If you were not monitored before, it's possible that you entered something in location *41 or *42 that the panel is interpreting as a phone number. If you _were_ monitored, you may have scrambled the phone number.
This is where lack of any details about your previous configuration is crippling.
Your best bet is to go into programming, make a copy of the programming form, and use the #xx command to go through all of the programming locations, one by one, and write down what is currently in each location, and compare it to what it _should_ be.
The only other alternative would be to completely default the panel and start from scratch (which I don't recommend, since you have wireless).
