for the wii go here:

and for xbox do this:

If you've forgotten your pass code, you can reset it by answering the pass code question you set up parental controls. Here's how:
1. On your console, go to Settings, and then select Family.
2. Select a content control setting to change.
3. When you're prompted, enter any pass code (even though it's incorrect).
4. When you're notified that your pass code is incorrect, select Reset Pass Code.
5. When your pass code question appears, use your controller or chat pad to enter the answer, then select Done.

If you can't remember the answer to your pass code question, you'll have to contact Xbox Support for further help.


...............hope that helps

Try 00000 or 12345 or 99999. What kind of TV is it, and you could try main menu and parental controls screen trouble shooting. Try unplugging it.

When a red key appears in the lower left corner of your Apex television screen, the set's V-chip is engaged, preventing you from watching restricted content. You can override parental controls and reset your television's pass code with your remote.
Parental Lock

1. The Apex prompts you to enter a 4-digit code when you set up parental controls. You can block programs according to their MPAA ratings or their content designations, such as V for violence or S for ****** situations.

Disabling the Lock

1. You can override parental controls on most Apex models by simultaneously pressing the F and mute buttons on the remote control. If you own Apex models GT2011J or GT2011S, hold the remote's display button for ten seconds. The red key will vanish and the V-chip will unblock your program.

Override Codes Apex's default parental lock control code is 6688, so if you haven't set a new code, entering 6688 will remove the red key and unblock your program. If you've set a new password and forgotten it, entering 3308 will reset the code and unblock your program.

Go into the settings menu, Parental controls, reset parental controls. Click through the confirmation screens, and then it will give you a confirmation code and ask you to call Nintendo.

Instead of calling Nintendo, go to http://wii.marcansoft.com/parental.wsgi and enter the code. Even though it was originally written for the Wii, marcan's reset code generator will give you a valid code that you can enter into your DSi to remove the parental control.

Hi littlewoman3,
If you no longer remember your PIN, nor the answer to your secret question, you will need a Master key to reset your unit.
The ideal and the recommended way is for you to call Nintendo's customer service ( 800 255 3700 ). They may ask you for your date of birth before giving you the Master key.



However, If you don't have the time to call Nintendo, you can try this:
->Go to parental controls in system settings.
-> tap "yes" when it asks "Change Parental Controls settings?"
-> tap "I Forgot" twice. You will then be given an inquiry number.
-> Using your computer, go to the attached link and enter the number in the field marked "confirmation number" ( Be sure to set the current date in your timezone)
http://wii.marcansoft.com/parental.wsgi?number=25613354&date=0811&submit=Get+Reset+Code
->click get "Reset code"
You can now try to reset your settings using this code.
I hope this solves your problem. Wishing for you to get the best results.
All the best to you !

There you go:
1) Hit [MENU]. Press [CH up / down] to select ?V-CHIP SET UP?, then hit [VOL up].
2) Enter 4-digit access code with the Number buttons. If you have not set up your personal access code, enter 0000 (default access code).
