master code

Main access sequence

A master code is a password or access code that overrides all others in a system, granting complete control or entry regardless of individual user restrictions.

Security systems, safes, and software often have master codes for administrators or emergencies: The building manager reset the alarm with the master code.

In gaming, master codes may unlock cheats or hidden features.
