The Wii Parental Control settings offer you a means to manage what Wii content is accessible to the console users. If you apply Parental Controls, you will be prompted to set a 4-digit PIN which will allow you to adjust the Parental Controls settings in the future and also allow you to access content that may be restricted by the Parental Controls settings. The Parental Controls default setting is "OFF" which means that the console will allow all content unless you change the settings. There is one Parental Controls setting per console, so it is recommended that you put the settings on the most secure that you need for your family; you can then share the PIN with users who may be allowed access to blocked content. To adjust the Parental Controls settings 1.Access the Wii System Settings (how to). 2.Click on the blue arrow to reach the Wii System Settings 2 menu options. 3.Choose "Parental Controls" and select "Yes." 4.Enter the 4-digit PIN and select OK. If you have forgotten the PIN, select " I forgot" to answer the secret question. (Answers to the secret question are case sensitive.) 5.You can adjust the "Highest Game Rating Allowed" to be played on the Wii console. Please notethat Parental Controls settings do not affect Nintendo GameCube Game Discs. For more information on the ESRB and its ratings, click here.
