The question is why would you want to and which limit are you suggesting? Bypassing any limit would decrease the safety features designed to protect the equipment and occupancy. Limits and safety interlocks are sometimes bypassed for troubleshooting purposes or emergencies but I would not unless you have qualifications to determine the consequences.

Check the error code on the control board at the furnace. It could be a number of things. If the furnace is not lighting, it could be the ignitor If the furnace lights then goes out right away, it could be the flame sensor If the furnace lights then goes out after several minutes, it is a limit switch. Turn the tstat fan switch to on and see if the fan comes on, if it does not you have no power to the furnace, check the breakers or cutoff switch.
