According to the Moultrie Game Spy D-555i 8 Megapixel Digital Game Camera instruction manual, in order to reset the security code, you will need to contact Moultrie customer support at 800-653-3334.

Since none are available on the manufacturer's website, you can only assume there are none.

FAQ Proper Use of SD Cards with Moultrie Game Cameras

Question appears to be from some months ago, but Moultrie web site shown here suggests copying photos to a computer if possible directly without using the camera itself. Then it suggests reformatting the SD Card itself.

Call Moultire with equipment to troubleshoot. Number to call is 8006533334 option 1 and 1 for a live person to help you.

Moultrie Customer Service tells me that it is the same as the D-40. If you go to Moultrie's website you can access the manual for the D-40 there.

ERROR CODE 000480 ?
If this is correct,it relates to: Camera Mod test failed;(4); and under Memory Test, 8= Comms Error.New batteries(good ones) may fix it...
It' not communicating with memory card..ck it's inserted good..press down until it stays down(press again and it will pop up.
Follow instructions on deleting internal memory before installing SDcard.
Also, make sure cam supports kind of card you're using..at 4gb and larger, they become confusing;i.e., 4/8/16mb...older cams won't support some of these. Also there are HC(high capacity); HD(high definition)don't work in these cams..
I posted this for a fix a few days ago, and it turned out to be brand new bad batteries.

I found a user's manual for the game cam online which helped me understand how to operate the camera.

Forget calling Moultrie...I think their answering system is permantly set for "off-hour" times...you may have to e-mail them several times be fore (after4-5 days they get back to you.
You're error should read error"0200000"...flash error or flash charging...getting this during system diagnosis probably is that you failed to cover sensor during ck.
I f this is a constant error...turn cam on; remove batteries; turn system off; insert batteries and try again. .

I'll bet the lcd is same as for D-40,M-40,M-60,I-40,I-60,ECT.
email moultriefeeders.com and tell them you have a gamecam with a defective lcd and could they please send you a replacement...they will at no charge to you, even free shipping...with instructions...this is a known issue with MANY Moultrie models

Hi, Sue,
Not really sure on this, but if where he bought cam will take it back,try it...
However, it may not be the cam, but different resolution settings on the two different cams. Digital cams by different manufacturers format SD cards using different means; some allow more memory space on card for formatting than others..and if the game cam is set at a higher resolution than the other cam, then the 2nd cam might use space 1st cam left avail.i.e., say cam "sets aside 4mb of memory to format card, but only uses 2mb of this space. Now, the game cam is set for high resolution and take 130 pics @ 15mb each..15x130=1950mb,+ 2mb left by game cam=1952mb(1.952gb), or about 50mb of space left on card...put it into cam set for lower res. and might get several more pics before card was really full...be sure all is equal...both cams, and card,ect. 128-130 pics @ high resolution ain't bad....on a 4gb SDHC card with my I-40's set for High Res., I can get 1000 pics;@ enhanced and I get only about 300. Set at low res., and # goes way up.Hope you understand all this.
