Unlocking the System
When the system is unlocked, the channel, spending, viewing, and rating limits that
you set are no longer in effect. To unlock:
1. Highlight Unlock System in the Profiles menu and press OK.
2. Highlight Yes and press OK to confirm that you want to unlock the system.
When you attempt to access a channel that is blocked by one or more limits and
the system is locked, you will be asked to temporarily unlock the system by
entering the 4-digit system password.
If you enter the system password to override a limit, all limits are unlocked until
you turn off the TV. When you turn on the TV again, the system will be locked, and
the Family profile channel list will be selected. If you want to re-lock the system
without turning off the TV, you can select the lock icon in the channel banner.
Tip: I forget my password
If you subscribe to DIRECTV
®
programming and forget the system password, contact your satellite program
provider’s authorization center.
If you forget the system password and do not have DIRECTV
®
programming, remove the access card from the
TV’s back panel (store it in a safe place, or reinsert it upside down to store it in the TV). Press and hold the
INFO button on the front panel; simultaneously press and hold the WHO button on the remote control.
Continue to hold for three seconds. All passwords will be cleared.
