A common question on how to change the passcode. The safe door must be opened to do this. If you skip to the 2:59 mark on this video, there is a red sticker on left upper side of door saying "reset". Push that red reset button and type in your desired passcode (3-8 digits) followed by the # key. Repeat this again (passcode + '#') quickly for confirmation. Every passcode must end with the "#". If done correctly, you will see a green light shine solid for 5 secs. If you forgot your passcode and cannot open the door, you need to use the override keys shown in this video. If you don't have those either, you are SOL. Hope this helps!
This is a fire safe only,,, it will keep small children out and it’d probably keep visiting friends and or relative honest or a maid,,, it offers A decent amount of fire protection and can survive a fall of 20 or 30 feet during a house fire however these things offer almost no security at all,,,you need at least an RSC fire and burglary rated safe that way you can have fire protection and light burglary protection all in one
Assuming you can get the safe open, there is a small reset button on the inside top edge of the door. Push it and enter in your new desired code (3-8 characters) followed by the # button. Repeat to confirm code. If you see a green light, success!
One thing you should be aware of is that these safes are fairly airtight. If you do not open the door for a while and you have cash in it, it can get soggy from condensation.
The default code should be in the instruction manual. Not sure if it is different than the one shown in my video. Otherwise, the safety pin might have come loose during shipping.
Can you do a video on how to reset the password and the safes locks after resetting the password because I’m resetting the password it has green light but it wouldn’t lock

Very helpful thanks!
Thank you, that's why I came here...
Not true that you are SOL if you forgot the code and you have no key. You can request a key from First Alert.
Thank you so much!
What if I don’t get a green light ?

agreed!
Hey. I have this safe also and can’t find the manual. I want to change my combo. Could you look it up and tell me how from the manual?

Yes, it can mold as well,
I recommend using moisture packs and still opening the safe for 20 minutes a week
We bought it but it’s not opening . Is there a default code to open?
The default code should be in the instruction manual. Not sure if it is different than the one shown in my video. Otherwise, the safety pin might have come loose during shipping.

How has it been
It is good, I like it!
Where did you get it for $200? It’s costing me $430 From Costco
I got it from Costco when it was on sale. I would wait until it goes on sale again!

Make sure you enter the code twice. If you see a green light for 5 seconds, it programmed correctly and it should lock once you shut the door
How to replace the batteries ?
Dude - you totally missed how to set up a unique passcode…it’s bit of a hit and miss… seems like you tried, but could not figure it out so moved on ?
Thank you for the feedback, I added a pinned comment to explain how to do this.
this guy is full of it
