Xbox 360 Parental Password issues
 

Morning All

My 12 year old son has saved up and bought himself a used Xbox 360 from a local cash converters type shop, I need to set a parental passcode but it has already been previously set and I have no idea what it is. I found this online does this seem right?

Here's what you need to do:

Turn on your xbox, go to System Settings. From there go to Console Settings. A window should appear that asks you for your password. If you don't know your password, then make up something. It will tell you your password is incorrect, click Reset Password".

You'll need to type in: YrYa


If this fails, then you need to follow these steps to reset your factory settings.

Turn off your xbox. Take your hard drive out (the bulge on the side of your 360. It says HDD on it.) by pressing the gray button, and sliding the piece out. Turn on your xbox, go to System Settings - Console Settings - System Info.

Press these buttons IN ORDER:

LT RT X Y LB RB Y (using the left joystick) go right ONCE A

After all of this is completed, a window should appear asking you if you would like to reset your system settings, press yes!

After all of this is completed, you'll need to turn your xbox off, put the hard drive back in, and turn it back on.

I JUST had this problem, and this is what tech told me to do... and it worked.
Good luck! Down with passwords!

Thanks all
