Reset parental control

Hi,

on Settings -> PVR & Live TV -> Parental control entered a PIN which I don't recall.

How do I set a new known one?

Thanks,

chapas

IIRC it's stored in /userdata/profiles.xml

Try renaming (SSH into player) and renaming to .bak or similar (don't delete as first step).

N.B: All profiles (if any) will be removed as well!

Thanks for your answer, renaming the 'profile.xml' didn't work. It still asks me for 'Parental Control' PIN.

Stop kodi: systemctl stop kodi

Reset parental settings in /storage/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml to default:

Code

    <setting id="pvrparental.duration" default="true">300</setting>
    <setting id="pvrparental.enabled" default="true">false</setting>
    <setting id="pvrparental.pin" default="true"></setting>

Start kodi again: systemctl start kodi

Thank you! That worked!

I saw the old PIN on 'pvrparental.pin', 478963, before altering the file as suggested tried once more and didn't work?!?!?!? Bug maybe.
