Security Director Alert - Default Admin Codes

David Rusenko sez... Here's a fun little tip: You can open most Sentex key pad-access doors by typing in the following code: ***00000099#*

The first *** are to enter into the admin mode, 000000 (six zeroes) is the factory-default password, 99# opens the door, and * exits the admin mode (make sure you press this or the access box will be left in admin mode!)


Important...
Even though you assigned custom passcodes to system users, your system's master code may still be set at the default passcode. This is a vulnerability common to many access control products. Time to check & change.

To see if you have a Sentex lock (mostly used in multi-tenant buildings and for driveway gates) check here and here. ~Kevin
