Locking and unlocking your DIRECTV
®
System
If you have set ratings limits, spending limits, or channel lists for your DIRECTV
®
System,
you need to lock the system to make those settings take effect.
To later change those settings, you will need to unlock the system to access the controls
for those settings. Locking the system involves entering a four-digit password.
You will need to remember this password to unlock the system. Write down the password
and keep it in a safe place. If you forget your password, call DIRECTV or your service
provider for assistance.
To lock or unlock the system, follow these steps:
1
Press the MENU button on your remote control.
2
Highlight the PROFILES menu item, then press the SELECT button.
The PROFILES menu appears.
3
Highlight the Lock System or Unlock System menu item, then press the SELECT button.

Highlight the first digit in the password.

Use the 0 - 9 buttons, up or down arrow button on your remote control to enter a four-digit
password. Then highlight the on-screen Done button and press the SELECT button.
If you are locking the system, you will see a second screen asking you to confirm your
password (to make sure you entered it correctly).
When you have finished locking or unlocking the system, the Lock System/Unlock System
screen disappears, and the PROFILES menu is displayed.
