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 profile’s 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.
Don’t 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.
