VChip password forgoten




By johngeorge on Oct 19, 2007

" "

This TV has been unused for awhile, when we took it out of the closet to put in my workshop we found that the VChip password had never been cleared. Unfortunately, I have slept since then and have no idea what it was. Is there a master reset for either it or the entire TV?

 

Thanks!

- Unfortunately, the code had been set prior to being stored to keep the kids off of late night movie channels. I have tried every 4 digit code that I have ever used before, I must be some sort of evil genius.... I chose a code that even I can't break.

if never used, the code should be 1234

Good luck.

Here's your  answer - Hold the down volume control on the TV. Then press the remote # 0. This will bring up the reset password menu. Then reset the password. We need a kid to solve are problems. FWL
