    The document I'm looking at, EK-SOL20-SV.A01, has a paragraph on page
    3-11 titled "Setting a New Security Code".
    Since you've indicated you have one, check page 3-11, and then if
    needed, I'll briefly paraphrase it for you.

Hi,


	Thanks for the reply. It's nice if it's set to default 0-0-0 or
	or if you know the last code.

	What appen if the customer lost the code?

Eric

    
    As I see it, you have several options. Professionally? I'd go
     with option 1.
    
     1. Replace the AC control module...
    	due to the fact that you have to have the security code 1st to run most
        CONFIG's, including CONFIG 17 "Set New Security Code"...catch 22
     
     2. If customer is of opposite sex, offer to wine and dine, with hope
        of intimate conversation...reveal original code yet?
     
     3. Convince engineering to repair this problem in firmware...yeah,right
        while your'e at it, convince Congress to lower taxes immediately.

    All...
    
    	This is not nearly so interesting as '.3 (2)' but when all else has
    failed, try this:-
    
    	I'm looking at document EK-SOL20-SV.B01 page 4-3, topic:-
    
    4.1 OPERATION/INSTALLATIONERROR INFORMATION
    
    Task		Problem/Symptom			What to do
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Inputting Security	Security Code		First try the default security
    Code		forgotten or		code (0-0-0). If the security
    			misplaced		code is not set to the 
    						default, locate the
    						8-switch dip switch on the
    						controller PCA and set SW1
    						to the "closed" position. 
    						Switch on the autochanger.
    						This sets the security code
    						to the default code.
    
    						NOTE- Once the default
    						security code is set, the
    						switch must be reset to its
    						original setting. The
    						customer may now use
    						config 17 to reset the
    						code.
    
    	The document in question is admittedly for RW504/RW524, but has the
    etch and functionality of the A/C controller module changed much? Has
    the RW525 A/C controller PCA got a dip switch?
    
    	If this fails then fall back to "change the A/C controller module"
    as suggested by Steve in '.3'

    The controller for the RW525 is completely different - It's about the
    size of a 4x5 card. The RW524 controller is more like 9x11".
    
    There may be a similar switch, though. I don't have the docs... Sorry.

    Another chapter to this:
    
         The CONFIG 16 states as the last item in the list:
    
         "Reset the password to 0 0 0"
    
    I'd certainly try running CONFIG 16 first before replacing the module.

Thanks for the answer (.6)
