<!-- from fixya rte -->Where can I find the factory keypad code - 2012 Ford Escape

Enter the factory-programmed five-digit code on the exterior keypad. (9)
Press the "1-2" button on the keypad within five seconds of entering the last digit of the factory-programmed code. This initiates the code-setting mode for the personal code.
Enter your preferred five-digit code number. Make sure that you hit each button within at least five seconds of hitting the one before it, otherwise the code-setting mode will auto-cancel.

You should be able to drive the truck to the dealer and have them give you the code, provided it was not changed by the previous owner.
Usually the code is in the owner's manual.

1. Locate the permanent factory remote keyless entry code in your car's owner's manual or by contacting the dealership.
   
2. Enter the factory code on the keypad and press the "1/2" button on the keypad within five seconds to start the programming sequence.
   
3. Enter a new five-digit code into the keypad within five seconds.
   
4. Wait for the locks to cycle once to confirm the new code was successfully programmed.
   

the keyless entry code is on the module and in the module memory. A dealer can extract the code ( about $50). You can access the owner manual on line at motorcraft.com, pro center, tech info, owner manual. I have one for $7 plus postage. let me know. Also, look for a plastic credit card in teh glove box with the code on it. The module should be under the dash, driver side I think.
