If you have the user manual you will probably find there is a default password or a default PIN number programmed into the box at the factory that you can keep using or change as you see fit.
My Freeview box uses 1 2 3 4 as the PIN. Lots of old video recorders were the same.
If the remote control have set-up codes with Alba freeview, you can.

Has the box got a scart socket? If it has connect the VCR to that via a scart lead. If the alba has two scart sockets then use the second one. When recording set the channel as AV1 or AV2. If you don't have enough scart sockets to connect your TV, VCR and Box, then get one of these Scart Switching Box from places such as Amazon or Argos.

Most of the ALBA equipment uses a default of 8's, and some people have reported that 1's are their default code. I have an STB300HD that's just been brought to me for checking, the default code for that model is 8888. Another one I had looked at/repaired last month, i cant remember the model but it was still an ALBA, had 888888 as its code. As far as I am aware, you can type the wrong code as many times as you like, i'd tried over 10 codes on the STB300HD before finding the correct one and it never gave any warnings or total lock-outs. :) Good luck.
(just to help in Google searches for others owners)....... ALBA STB300HD parental lock default code = 8 8 8 8
DV3 is actually DVB meaning Digital Video Broadcasting. The stylised design of the DVB symbol makes it look more like DV3. If the TV has the DVB symbol, then it has a digital tuner and can receive digital channels, i.e. Freeview.
If you need assistance with tuning the Freeview channels or have further questions, please let me know the model number of the TV. This can be found on a label on the back of the TV.
