Parental control is one of the features available on roku. This feature restricts the children to access the movies and TV shows based on the rating of the movies and TV shows.
Roku doesn't provide any true parent controls. But the parental control workaround is simpler one. Only a few channels on roku have the parent control. Such channels are Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, and Redbox.
Initially, you have setup your roku account and add the channels from the channel store by using the PIN.

    1.Sign in to your roku.com/link account.
    2.Click the update button which is next to the PIN reference.
    3.Then choose the choice "A PIN is required when using your Roku account to make the purchase or add any item from the Channel Store."
    4.Put the 4-digit PIN and save the changes. After that, you can watch the channel by installing them from the roku channel store.
    After finishing the watching the channels delete it.
    If you deleting the paid channels means there are no issues because you need not pay again for reinstall. For re-install it you have to sign in again.
    For some channels which have parental control, that doesn't require to delete the channel after watching.
    If you want more information about the roku call 1-844-965-4357 to get instant help.

Setting parental controls is simple:

  • On your computer, go to Account (it's linked from the upper right of each Redbox Instant by Verizon web page) and choose the Manage Parental Controls tab.
  • On the Roku, parental controls also are available directly under Account.
  • On the Xbox, parental controls are controlled through the console and not the Redbox Instant by Verizon app. You can, however, use our app to see what your parental controls are set to. Just go to Account and choose Preferences.
    • For more information about how to restrict movies and TV shows using your Xbox 360, see Xbox 360 console parental controls.
    • If you're using an Xbox One, more information can be found here.
  • On any other supported device, choose Account within the Redbox Instant by Verizon app, and then select Preferences.
From there, choose the option that's right for you and your family: The Young Children option, for example, will allow any content appropriate for children up to age 6 to be streamed without a password. Other settings are available, including one that will not allow streaming purchases without a password. The parental controls password is the same as your Redbox Instant by Verizon account password.

Please keep in mind that parental control settings are specific to the device on which they are set: If you enable parental controls on an iPad, for example, and want all your other devices to control access to Redbox Instant by Verizon in the same way, you'll have to enable the same settings on all of the other devices. This gives you the flexibility to control what can be watched and purchased on a device-by-device basis.

I forgot my roku pin number

I think this will work. First log into your Amazon account. Then go here
http://www.amazon.com/roku/ (it should have redirected you here, if not then click here)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/rok ... v_faq_roku

Then click on the "Edit purchase PIN & Payment settings" button, scroll down to "Your Purchase Pin" You should be able to see your old pin, if not just make one.


PS. The Amazon pin is the 5-Digit pin you enter to buy or rent movies in the Amazon channel. If you are talking about the 4-digit pin you enter so you can add channels in the channel store in the Roku. Go here and log into your Roku account.

Click on the Parental Control and you should see your pin, and change it if you want, or disable or enable that feature.

this is all i could find on the internet hope it works for you.

I can't watch certain movies or shows because of parental control

LEGAL WAY -
1.Get access to the administrator account.
2.To achieve this you can use either legit (ask for the password or removal of Parental Controls) or illegal methods (social engineering or hacking).
3. The legit way is more advisable as the person who imposed the Parental Control has done it in good concern for you.
4. You can start by understanding why they have imposed Parental Controls on your account. It can be because your children use Facebook too much. Or, were you neglecting your health, social circle or studies very much?
5. After understanding the root reason. Try to initiate a change in your behavior or at least show that you are changing. This might make them reconsider their actions.
6. It takes a lot of time & effort but its worth the wait.
