Questions:
1) Is it possible to reprogram the keypad for the same (or different) code while not having to reprogram the remotes as well; and
2) How?
Thanx in advance....

Some unit have a maximum number of remotes that can all be added in total. I've seen numbers like 10. Not sure about the Linear models used by builders here.
From my Linear model...

To Add or Remove a Remote Control
1 Press the operator’s LEARN button.
{LEARN button in on the back of the motor unit.} The operator’s light and red light will flash once and turn on for about 15 seconds. A remote must be added or removed while the red light is still on.
2 Send a signal from a remote. The operator’s light and the red light will flash once if a remote was added, or the opener’s light and the red light will flash four times if a remote was removed.
3 Repeat Steps 1 & 2 for any additional remote controls.
{for keypad, enter digits, then the enter key}
To Remove All Remote Controls
1 Press and hold the operator’s LEARN button for ten seconds or more.
2 Release the LEARN button. The red light and operator’s light will blink three times signaling that all of the remotes in the operator’s memory were erased. The red light will turn off, then turn on for 15 seconds. A remote control can be entered during this
time using the steps above.
Testing
1 Before testing the remote control, straighten out the operator’s antenna wire so it points up.
{or down}
2 Stand clear of the door, press the remote control’s button and verify that the operator starts. PRESS THE REMOTE CONTROL’S BUTTON AGAIN TO STOP THE DOOR MID-TRAVEL.
