2nd If that dosent work, power the panel down, short the 2 solder tabs JP1 (top of board, sorta middle IRRC) keep it shorted as you power the panel up, hold it shorted for about 10 secs then remove the short, then try the default installer code (WARNING - this will default the WHOLE panel includign the installer code, but if the option 'installer lock out' is turned on, this will NOT defualt the installer code, so your left with a defaulted panel you cant program!)
3rd If you do the above and still locked out, if you have a version 2 chip in the panel, yes you can use a version 1 chip (know as default chip) by powerign down, putting in ver1 chip, do 2nd step above and will work, then power down and put the ver2 chip back in
