I have a toshiba tv model:19a21 and i want to unlock the v-chip. i did not activate the v-chip i was like that when i bought the tv what can i do to reset it

To reset the V-Chip on the Toshiba 19A21:

Hold the volume down on the TV - at the same time, press the number 1 on the remote. The TV will turn off and reset everything.

I found this to work on my Toshiba TV/VHS combo MV19M4 after trying others suggestions that had worked on similar models but nothing worked on mine. Maybe it will work for yours. Follow these steps:

1: Unplug the TV for 1 minute then plug it back in.
2: In the menu select "TV Set Up".
3: Move the blinking block to beside "V-CHIP Set" BUT DO NOT SELECT IT.
4: Hold in the number 1 button on the remote.
5: Hold in the volume down button on the TV.

Your TV will turn off. Give it a few seconds to reset itself and then turn it back on and you will have to completely reprogram your settings. When you go to the V-CHIP settings it will ask for your new code.
