MyKey frustration!!!!
Hey everyone, i have a 15SD, i never played with the MyKey features but i was bored and made a mistake! I changed the settings, i wanted to see how they worked and now i cant change them back. I have 2 keys, when i go to the info section in my display, it says 2 MyKeys, 1 Admin.....yet when i try either key i dont have the option to make any changes to MyKey, it just disappeared! I get Ford is wanting to keep drivers safe but this has to be the stupidest thing they could have done!!! Any suggestions on how to delete the settings?

As mentioned above, without a master key, you will probably have to erase and reprogram your keys to the truck. There was some talk previously on this or other forums about the remote start being the admin key. Not sure if this applies to the later model trucks or not and how to use the remote start to undo the MYkey settings.
You might can use FORScan to reprogram your two keys instead of going to the dealer. You will need an OBDII adapater, WIFI or USB and a laptop/computer with FORSECAN installed and the FORSCan key (both are free). I prefer USB when using the laptop.

There are some threads about FORScan on the site. you might search the whole site for FORScan and MYkey

Yup you need to take all keys and vehicle to dealer for a reprogram. My dad did that with his boss mustang this summer detailing it one day. He forgot the password and one key when used would change all these settings, he had to pay for them to erase the keys out, now he just leaves it alone. Ford really didnt think the mykey crap out...

Update! I took my truck and both keys to the dealer, they erased them and reprogrammed them for me....NO MY KEY SETTINGS! There was no charge, I believe I haven't been the only one to ask them to do that and they felt my pain. Took about 15 minutes....one thing I still don't unseunders, when I went to the info tab on my screen it said 2 mykeys, 1 admin....you'd think the admin would be ablento work but I guess not.....
