Using the Profiles
Chapter 6 63
Locking and Unlocking a User Profile
When you lock a profile, you prevent anyone who does not know the user
password from accessing the locked profile. This applies only when they press
WHO on the remote control. It does not prevent them from accessing and editing
the profile via the main menu if they first enter the system password.
When you lock a profile (excluding Family), you lock its channel limits, rating
limits, and spending limits. After locking the profile, you need to enter the system
password to edit these settings.
1. Choose the profile you want to lock or unlock from the Profiles menu,
highlight Lock User or Unlock User, and press OK.
Locking the user profile protects the limits you set up.
2. When locking a user, use the arrows or the digits on the remote control to
enter a four-digit user password.
Some other things to remember about locking and unlocking profiles are:
For a lock to be effective, you must exit out of the menu system.
When you attempt to access a profiles channel that is blocked by one or more
limits and the system is locked, you will be asked to unlock the video by
entering the SYSTEM password.
If you enter the system password to override a limit, the lock on the channel
banner will turn yellow, and all limits are temporarily unlocked until you turn
off the television. When you turn on the television again, the system will be
locked, and the Family profile channel list will be active. If you want to re-
lock without turning off the television, you can select the lock icon in the
channel banner.
If a profile is locked and you want to access its channels, press WHO on the
remote control and then enter the user password.
If a profile is locked and you want to access its settings, you can access it
through the menu system by choosing Profiles, then choosing the profile
name. Then enter the system password.
Dont Forget Your
Password
If you forget a USER
password and the system
is locked, you need to
unlock the system and
then assign a new user
password. If the system is
not locked, select Profiles
from the main menu,
choose Unlock User, and
enter a new password.
