Reset Honeywell primary

Anyone know how fully reset a Honeywell primary?

I'mI'm servicing a boiler that has a R7284. The trial for ignition is set at 30 seconds and it can't be adjusted because there have been over a hundred Cycles. I really want to drop it back down to 15 seconds. And the only way I could see that I'll be able to do it is if there's a way to return to factory settings or something like that but I'm not seeing that anywhere.

This is from the technician's reference

"The Ignition Time is only available for adjustment during
the first 100 cycles of operation. After 100 cycles the
Ignition Time is locked in and can no longer be adjusted"

    I think you are stuck with that! If it is that important, replace the control and set the Ignition time to 15 Seconds. You can save that control you remove in that box and later, put it on a customer that you don't like as much!

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Honeywell says you can't do it so I wouldn't. anecdotally many boards that can hold settings or time when powered off use a little flat battery, on some boards removing the battery for a few minutes will delete all programming and return to the boards factory state, it's possible something important is lost when doing this so I wouldn't unless someone from honeywell said I could!
