Default VCDS VIM programming help

I have the Ross tech VCDS and I’m trying to program ViM on mmi and I can’t get past the security code. One write up said note the serial number first and then enter certain digits of that serial to gain access, but one digit referenced is a letter, and there’s is no 14th digit... so I’m confused and must be doing something wrong. Below is a picture of the serial number given. 2012 A8L
