You must have its remote control to unlock this TV. Try to make your remote control get repaired, and check these. 1.
Hold down the
MENU button on the remote and VOLUME DOWN button on the TV it's self at the
same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be
unlocked 2.
Hold down the 0
(zero) button on the remote and the VOLUME DOWN button on the TV itself at the
same time for at least 4 seconds. The set won't say so, but the lock will be
unlocked 3.
Hold down the
MENU button on the front of the TV and the TV button on the remote at the same
time for at least 4 seconds. 4- Hold down GO BACK button on the remote and MENU
button on the front of the TV at the same time for at least 4 seconds.
Most RCA sets use a
four digit code to control the v-chip. The code reset is different depending on
the model. Try each number until you find the one that works for you.
Hold down EJECT button
on the front of the TV set and the MENU button on the remote at the same time
for at least 4 seconds. Depending on the model, one of the methods should
unlock the V-chip. Now, if desired, you can change the settings on the V-chip
by going to the MENU and going to PARENTAL CONTROLS, or on some sets, going to
MENU and then going to TV SETUP, then to V-CHIP SET.

If you forget your password you can reset it. Make sure the TV is off. Simultaneously press and hold VOL< on the TV?s front panel and CLEAR on the remote for approximately 5 seconds. Enter a new password next time you access the PARENTAL CONTROL menu. Front Panel Lock 1. From the PARENTAL CONTROL menu, press the up or down arrow to highlight Lock Fr. Panel. 2. Press the right or left arrow to turn on (box has check mark) or off (box doesn?t have check mark) front panel lock. Of course if you don't have a remote that can bring up the menu I don't know how this can be done.

If the front panel lock is on, you will need a working original remote (or a universal remote properly programmed for RCA) to turn the set on. The IR receiver is next to the buttons on the fromt but the RCA IR receivers are very reliable, and I have yet to see a bad one in a modern RCA TV. Once you turn the set on by remote, you can enter the menu and turn the FPA off.
