Spent 45 minutes trying to program a keypad because I typed the installer code wrong

Simple mistake. I was at a job in Portland last Tuesday, brand new DSC system. Keypad kept beeping at me and wouldn't go into programming mode. Checked the wiring twice. Called tech support. They had me reset the panel. Nothing worked. Finally realized I was punching in 5555 instead of 5656. Felt like a complete idiot. Has anyone else wasted time on something that dumb?

Read somewhere that DSC defaults are notoriously easy to mess up if you're not careful. @thomas_roberts you're right, we've all been there with a typo that makes you want to throw the whole panel out.

Oh man, that's brutal. We've all been there with a stupid typo wasting way more time than it should.
