To reprogram the keyless entry system on your Ford Explorer, start by inputting the factory code from the owner's manual. After entering this code, quickly press the 1-2 button and input 5 digits that are easy to remember and unique to you. Remember to enter the new numbers within 5 seconds of each other for the Explorer to save them. Avoid using important dates or numbers that others could easily guess. Press the 1-2 button again to save your information and set the new code. Your vehicle may allow for a second entry code for a different driver; follow the same steps with the 3-4 button to save their information. The Explorer's doors will automatically lock and unlock to confirm the changes have been successfully made.

I own the same car and, if you check under the plastic on the passenger side back seat where the seatbelt is, you'll see a 5-digit code. I recently found mine and the proper way to change it is to enter the 5-digit code, then quickly press the 1-2 button, enter the new code, and press 1-2 again.
