I WANT TO CHANGE THE FIVE DIGIT FACTORY CODE MODEL S3817

Question edited for clarity and maker.
Question moved from Cell Phones.

There is no such thing as a 'Default Code'. Each one leaves the factory with a different code and instructions how to change the code to one of your own.

A locksmith can get in using a rare earth puck magnet to pull the electronic bolt. Or if you jump through some hoops, SentrySafe will send you a new key. Keeping the key INSIDE the safe is nuts.

As far as I am aware there is no such thing as a Factory Reset Code otherwise every burglar in the world would be using it. You can ask Sentry Safe, but they charge and you need a signed affidavit that the safe is yours, and the serial number, BUT your husband has changed it.

You can use the key to open it, they all have a key in case the battery goes flat.

Or you can just open it with a rare earth puck magnet. They are not at all secure!

To reset the combination on a Sentry safe, open the door of the safe, delete the existing codes, press the PROG or P key and enter the factory code. Finally, enter a new five-digit number as per individual preference, which is the new user combination.
It is always prudent to reset the combination on a Sentry safe when the door is open because it prevents the user from being locked out. To open the Sentry safe door, type the five-digit factory code given in the owner's manual. This factory code cannot be altered.
To delete the existing codes on newer models of the safe as of 2015, press the P button. Then, type the factory code and follow it up by inputting "00000" into the safe. On older models of the Sentry safe, press the PROG button and type the factory code two times.
After deleting the existing codes, press the PROG or P key and then enter the factory code once again. Within five seconds, type a new five-digit number, which is the new user code. To verify if the user code is working, retype it and then close the door of the safe. The user code is the primary code for opening the safe, and users can reset it as often as they want too

Open your Sentry safe by typing the five-digit factory code (found in your owner's manual) on the keypad. It's always a good idea to change your combination while the safe is open, so that you don't inadvertently lock yourself out.

Delete any existing codes by pressing the "P" key and entering the factory code, followed by "00000." On older safes, press the "PROG" key and entering your factory code twice to delete old codes.

Press the "PROG" or "P" key again on your Sentry safe's keypad.

Enter your safe's five-digit factory code.

Enter a five-digit code of your choosing within 5 seconds. This is your user code. While the factory code cannot be changed, your user code can be changed as often as you like, and that should be your primary code to open the safe. Only you should know your safe's factory code.
