2. Locate the reset button:
- Identify the reset button on the lock's keypad or control panel. It may be labeled as "Reset" or have a small hole or indentation.
- In some cases, the reset button might be located inside the lock's housing, requiring you to remove the cover.
3. Press and hold the reset button:
- Use a suitable tool, such as a paperclip or a small screwdriver, to press and hold the reset button for the specified duration mentioned in the user manual.
- Typically, you need to hold the reset button for a few seconds.
4. Enter the master reset code:
- If your lock has a master reset code, you might need to enter it after pressing the reset button.
- The master reset code is usually provided by the manufacturer and can be found in the user manual.
5. Set the new code:
- After entering the master reset code (if applicable), you'll be able to set the new code for the lock.
- Follow the instructions in the user manual to program the new code. This usually involves pressing specific keys or buttons in a sequence.
6. Confirm the new code:
- Once you've entered the new code, the lock might prompt you to confirm it by entering it again.
- Make sure to enter the new code correctly to ensure it's programmed successfully.
7. Test the new code:
