I came accross this question, because I've been looking for the remote code for my cable remote. I had originally put the TV remote somewhere in a box when I was moving years ago, Since my cable remote changes the channel, I've been doing the same as you all this time. Therefore, I totally understand your frustration on trying to understanding how to navigate within the menu: It's not what you would think would be a standard or logical way....
Anyway, in my research, I did come accross the TV manual, and I found the instruction on how to reset the TV. I tried the steps, and THEY"RE STILL confusing, so I've added my own hints....hope this helps:

Your TV can be reset to the factory settings in case you forget your Smart Lock password, or want to change the picture, sound, or features settings.
1 Press the MENU button on the remote control to see the onscreen menu.
In the left panel, you will see four icons (from top to bottom)
- TV INSTALL (a tv)
- PICTURE (icon of film)
- SOUND (a piano)
- FEATURES (icon of pliers and a hammer)
When the Menu screen is showing the left panel as highlighted light grey, the Chanel buttons have Page up/Page down Functionality
2 Press the the (CH UP) or_(CH DN) buttons to highlight the FEATURES menu.
Navigate to the FEAUTRES menu (icon of pliers and a hammer - bottom of left panel) and you should make sure it is highlighted in blue
3 Press the (VOL+) button to enter into the FEATURES menu.
The right panel should now be highlighted in a light grey
4 Press the (CH UP) or (CH DN) buttons to highlight the FACTORY SETTINGS control.
This will select items in the right panel, FACTORY SETTINGS in on the bottom
5 Press the the _(VOL+) or _(VOL-) buttons to reset the TV to the original factory settings.
