I forgot my Apple TV parental control passcode. Today I tried renting a movie and can't do it without the passcode, and can't figure out how to reset, and there is no function to remind password as is customary. Anybody know how to solve this one?

Go to settings in the main menu screen, next go to general button. Then at the bottom you should see reset button. This will reset your apple tv to factory settings, which will erase your passcode.

How to bypass passcode on son's Ipad mini?

The best way to figure it out is to hold the Ipad mini against the light and see if you can tell what his unlock pattern is. If his screen is clean you wont be able to tell.

I have followed all directions to turn off parental controls on my ps2 but it will not let me. what should i do?

Follow these steps:
  1. Turn on the PlayStation 2 and remove any disk that may already be in the device. Then insert a DVD, preferably one that will prompt you for the parental control code. Insert the code and allow the DVD to begin playing.
  2. Press the "Select" button once the movie has started. This will bring up a menu. Find the "Settings" icon, and press "X" to enter the "Settings Menu." Scroll down and select the "Parental Controls Menu" and press "X."
  3. Reset the "DVD Parental Control Level" to "Off," which will allow any DVD to play without prompting the user for the passcode. You may also choose to set it to level 8, which is the least stringent level.
  4. Do not exit the menu after inputting the new settings. Instead, eject the DVD and remove it. This should cause the PlayStation to reset with the new settings enabled. If it does not automatically reset, then manually reset it by either flipping the switch in the back, or by holding the reset button in the front down. Leave the device off for a few seconds.
  5. Turn the PlayStation back on and input a DVD that previously required the passcode. The PlayStation should now play the DVD without prompting you for the passcode. If it does, then you're finished. If it still prompts you for the passcode, then start again at step one and try it again.
