About your PINs
You have two PINs. You use your YouView PIN control access to programmes

any payments within the BT Player. You can use the same PIN number for
both if you like.
YouView PIN
Your YouView box comes with a default PIN 1234. You can change your
PIN any time. Just go to Settings, then Parental Controls and then
Change PIN. If you change your PIN, you'll need to create a security
question. You'll be asked for this in the future if you can't remember your
existing PIN.
