Forgot passcode for parental settings.

Fortunately Sony built in a default password for occasions such as yours. The procedure is laid out on page 45 of your manual. Follow these steps to make use of the built in password:

1) Go to the Parental settings on your menu and choose PASSWORD.

2) input "136900" in the box marked "Old Password".

3) Enter a new password in the "New Password" box. Enter the same password in the "Verify Password" box then press Enter to confirm.

You should now be able to use the new password that you setup above.

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.

When it asks for a password, press select, then enter 7444 as a password. that will reset the password. Then, enter a new passcode. To can also, using the parental level menu, Change the level to anything you want, or turn it off.

What ever you do, rememeber to eject the disk BEFORE you turn off the console, otherwise the ps2 will not save your changes. "quote"

then it is your fault if you lost your code...

Did you try 0000? If you set it before and forgot what it was, then that sucks :D

When you get to the screen where it ask for passcode press the select button on the controller, it will take you to a screen to delete the passcode enter 7444 then it will prompt you for a new passcode and you can enter something you can remember. After you set new passcode you can go into parental controls to turn the feature off if you like.

Enter the password 7444, it will delete the old code and let you watch the movie you want

2) turn on ps2 and insert dvd in drive.
3) when it asks about parental password, choose 'yes'.
4) when prompted for password, press 'select'.

6) enter a new password (0000 works).
7) registration complete, dvd will start playing.
8) once the movie starts, press 'select'.
9) click the 'stop' icon.
10) click the 'stop' icon again (the icon must be gray even when you have it highlighted).
11) navigate to 'custom setup' ('select', setup icon, custom setup icon)
12) move to parental control option, press right directional button, enter password (0000).
13) move down to 'level'.
14) move up to desired level (off is at the top).

16) go back to 'select' menu options, and press 'play'.
17) while movie is playing, eject disk and remove dvd.
18) turn ps2 off using switch on the back, keep off for five seconds.
19) turn on ps2, put dvd back in.
20) happy dance. ;)

mine used to do that as well. But I think code is set as default to 000 so just enter that when it asks.
