PS2 DVD-playing question

Post by **benheck** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 11:21 am

Hey, does anyone know how to turn off the PS2's Parental Lock DVD thing?

You know, it says "The Parental Setting of this player..." etc and you have to enter a code (I just press X four times) to get it to run.

It's STUPID! You have to put in a code for anything PG and up, but GTA loads perfectly fine!

How do I reset it?

I never was able to find out the code for my replacement PS2 (first one broke, thank god for warrenties), if your up to it you can go through all the possible codes. Granted its what 10 to the 4th power? So what about 10,000 combinations.

I've never had that, I play WWE Dvds on my PS2 which are 15's (but most of mine are 18's) and I don't have to put in a code, is thats only on american PS2's.

Maybe, the U.S. has some really stupid rules. I've also found that if you have a burned DVD (copy or your own) the PS2 doesnt have trouble playing it.

when you first get a ps2 you just shut it off in the menu but if its set with a password there is numbers you can enter that will blank it out its in the user manual dont know where mine is though so you will have to look it up yourself its

edit: "press the select button and enter 7444 whenever the Perental Control display asks you for your password the old password is deleted"

What I did on my Freinds' PS2 is for the code just Enter all 0s. And if all else fails Call sony.

Edit: Sorry I don't think you can dissable that...

Look for an internal battery or cap, and remove it temporarily to get rid of the password, is what I'd guess....

Insert a DVD. When the movie starts, press Select to go to the menu. Find the "Setup" icon and select it. When in the setup menu, press Right(2) to get to the custom setup. Go down to "Parental Control" and press Right to go to "Region", then go down to go to "Level". You can now turn the parental control on or off, and/or change the password.
