Use the up and down arrows to find the features section. use the right arrow to enter.then use the up and down arrows to highlight password. Enter the numbers 3448 for the old password. Then enter a new password. You can enter 0000.press enter. The number 3448 is the master password for resetting the password. I hope this information helps you with your problem.
From
the main menu choose "Parental Controls;" it's option six.
Choose
the first option, V-Chip TV Rating Limit, and using the arrow keys and the OK
button on the remote, scroll through until the TV-MA rating appears. Press the
right arrow button to move the highlight over to the "Status" field
and toggle to "View." Press the OK button. This will set the
age-based ratings to Mature.
From
the Parental Controls menu, select the second option, V-Chip Movie Ratings
Limit and change the rating to TV_MA and the "Status" to
"View."
From
the Parental Controls menu select the third option, V-Chip Unrated Program
Block and select item one, which will be "View."
Select
the fourth option, which is "Channel Block." Highlight the Channel
field and using the channel up and down buttons, go through and check they are
all set to 'View." Any set to "Block" will need to be toggled
back to View.
Lock the controls to activate the changes using item six on the "Parental Controls" menu. If you wish more details abut RCA TV unlock proceedings, check this site.
•
Look at the screen. If you see a red key on the bottom of the screen,
press "Function" and "Mute" on the remote at the same time.
This will unlock the channel. Do this if you want to bypass the lock to watch a
certain show or channel while leaving the TV locked. All other channels will
remain locked and the TV will lock again when it is turned off.
• Unlock all of the channels on the TV by
entering 0711 or 3308. These are the Jensen factory reset codes that will reset
the TV to the original factory settings. By doing this, you will loose any
information that you have stored in the TV, such as channel labels and
schedules. You will have to program the TV again by going through the entire
initial set up.
•Call the technical support service number
in your owner's manual if neither of those codes work. A technician can help
you troubleshoot the television as the problem may not be the parental lock
feature. Have the model number and serial number of the TV available when you
call.
• Take your television to a TV repair shop if
neither of the codes work and the TV locked by itself while it was turned on.
In this case, the TV may need to be rewired
