Your garage door controller wall station has learned a neighbor's transmitter (remote opener) code. This problem has happened to me and several of my neighbors over the years. We all have the MVP Allstar garage door opener system, which is widely used in The Villages. There's a procedure for erasing the codes currently stored in the wall station's memory and then re-learning ONLY your remote's code. I've re-programmed several of these for my friends and neighbors. If you'd like to learn how to do-it-yourself here's a link to the Manual for this unit.

Page 12 has the instructions for erasing and re-learning transmitter codes. You'll also need to re-program your Wireless Keyless Entry keypad. Here's a link to the manual for doing that.

In the meantime you can disable the opener by moving the switch located near the bottom of the controller to the "locked" position.
