How can I unlock the TV?

My television has a black screen with a picture of a red key in the lower left corner. I am wondering if somehow we locked the TV and if so, how do we unlock it. It still has sound.

SOURCE: How can I unlock the TV?

Ok try this.

If you have the display button on your remote then hold that down for 10 seconds it will unlock the screen. If password it requested try 3308 or 6688 and then go into the menu and change the parental controls on the tv as that is what has turned on. Let me know if that helps. If you do not have the display button try holding the mute and the menu button at the same time. Hope that helps.

* If you have a blank screen with a red key on the bottom left, simply press the (function or F) button and the mute button at the same time. This will unlock the screen and allow you to view the channel as desired. * If your TV asks for a 4-digit code or password please enter 3308 or 6688 to unlock the screen or reset any preset rating levels. * If you have a GT2011J or GT2011S Television, hold the (Display) button for 10 seconds, it will unlock the screen. If password or code is requested, try 3308 or 6688. One of the above methods should get you past the lock. If so, I would take the opportunity to disable the lock in the TV's menu so this doesn't happen again. If this still doesn't work, you can call Apex Customer Support at (800)880-1227.
