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 !

If you don't know your parental control code, then you need a little work around to disable it. Go to the system settings and find the parental controls option. Try to change the settings, and when it asks you for the PIN, hit the "I Forgot" button. On the next screen, say "I Forgot" again.

There will be a number at the bottom of the next screen. This is a confirmation number. Take that number, and enter it into this website: http://wii.marcansoft.com/parental.wsgi . It's a handy utility will take your confirmation number and the day's date and give you back the reset code. You should be able to change or disable the controls after entering the code. Good luck!

Here is what nintendo says about your problem:
If you have Parental Controls turned on, but cannot remember your PIN, you will be prompted to select and answer a secret question that will allow you to change your PIN in the "Game Settings and PIN" menu. If you forget your PIN and the answer to your secret question, please call Nintendo Consumer Service at 1-800-255-3700.
Before you call!
In order to assist you, we will need your Wii Parental Controls Confirmation Number. To get this number:

2. When prompted to answer your secret question, select "I forgot."
