How do you reset a parental control password on a DirecTV receiver?

The Parental Control passcode can be reset remotely by DirecTV customer support.
However, there are a few caveats.
- Your receiver must be connected to the phone line in order for DirecTV to gain access and reset the passcode.
- You must be able to prove that you are the owner of the DirecTV account.
- It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours to take affect.
Call the DirecTV customer support line. Tell them that you have forgotten your parental control passcode and request to have it reset. Expect the customer support representative to ask for the last 4 numbers of your social security number and/or credit card number. They will not, under any circumstances, reset the code if you can't prove that you are the account holder.

You could also completely reset your receiver back to system defaults.
In your menu, under "System Settings" select "Reset," and then select "Reset Everything". That will solve your problem, as it will erase all previous settings and you will have to go through the set up process again.
WARNING: This will erase EVERYTHING on your receiver. All of your recorded shows, settings, favorites, and programs set to record will be gone. This should only be done as a last resort.

∙ 8y agoThe parental controls are there for a reason - to stop you downloading something potentially harmful to your computer, or to stop you accessing sites that you are forbidden to view because of your age. We in the Wiki community will NOT assist you in circumventing your parents settings !

How do you remove parental control?
Contact your television service provider (Cable or Satellite Television). They will likely ask you a few questions (sometimes the method of your last payment, your last 4 digits of your ssn, etc) to verify it is not someone unauthorized to bypass the parental control. They will then remotely reset your receiver. You will probably need to redo your parental control locks after the reset.
