Parental, Fav's & Setup - Parental Controls
Lock Now
After setting the restrictions you want (see below for options), choose "Lock
Now" from the left menu. You'll be asked to create a passcode. You'll want
to make it easy enough to remember, but hard enough so someone can't
guess what it is! This passcode will be your entry to unlocking and adjusting
limitations in the future.
An on-screen message will appear whenever anyone tries to tune to a channel
or program that has been restricted, or attempts to spend or watch beyond
limitations set. He or she will not be allowed to proceed without the passcode.
Using your passcode, you can easily override the limits.
Making multiple entries aimed at guessing the passcode is discouraged by a
time delay; each invalid passcode entered lengthens the delay for subsequent
entry by one second.
To change your passcode at any time:
1. Press MENU, then select "Parental Fav's & Setup", then "Parental
Controls", then "Edit Settings."
2.
Scroll down to Passcode and press SELECT.
3. Enter your old passcode, then enter a new one twice to confirm.
Note: If you forget your passcode, call 1-800-531-5000 to reset it. You must be
the registered account holder and have your account number.
