The child lock on a TV can be a
wonderful thing. A parent sometimes cannot be present for the duration of a
kids' show, so the child lock ensures they can't watch programs that are off
limits. The lock can, however, cause unwanted trouble--if it gets accidentally
turned on and you don't know the code, you can find yourself unable to fully
enjoy the full range of available television stations. Follow a few easy steps
you'll be back to watching regular TV in no time. Locate
the manual for your television. Though slightly embarrassing, accidentally
turning on the child lock to a TV is a common problem. The section In the
manual about how to set the child lock feature will also explain how to unlock
it. Try
a few "universal methods" for unlocking the child lock. Some
televisions have a universal code built in for disabling the child lock --no
matter what your code is. A common code is "0000."
Instructions
Unplug your television for a few minutes. The internal battery of the TV
is what helps remember what your code. If the TV is unplugged for an extended
period of time, it clears the internal memory, which in turn will reset your
child lock code.
