Mend Scantronic 9448 Reset Approx 10

Cant manage to reset my passcode?

Hi, I have a Scantronic 9448+ approx 10 yrs old. Unfortunately my children flooded the bathroom floor and water was dripping through the light fitting in the kitchen so I powered all the downstairs lights off at the consumer unit. On powering them back up 24hrs later the alarm sounded and wouldnt reset when entering our usual passcode. Out of desperation we tried 1234 which to our relief stopped the alarm but now I cant seem to reset the passcode to the one I want. Help please as I was quoted £65 for a call out fee from SWAT who installed it saying that it needed reprogramming.
Many thanks
Steve

Quote"Hi Steve your panel is fitted with a NVM chip, which is designed to retain all information programmed inc your code, the reason why the panel has reverted back to 1234 factory conditions is because your battery is dead and the NVM is only good for about 10-15 years
Down-load a user manual to reset your code and buy a new Yuasa 2.1 amp rechargeable lead acid battery,
Problem will now be sorted,

And the programming will be lost as the time and date stamp. In fact everything that makes your alarm work out of the box and no doubt not how it was programmed to meet your or previous owners needs.

It is possible to download the USER instructions off the internet.
If you can use the default code, then you can surely change the code?
Make sure you get the right instructions - there were two similar panels - the 9448 and the 9448+

If the alarm triggered when the mains was turned off, I suggest it needs servicing - the £65 might not be too bad value if it includes parts.
