Press DBox button then go down to service settings press that then go down to parental controls press that know you should have a option to change pin code.

Hello Mate

There are 2 methods to find the pin code on a dbox2

either ftp into var/tuxbox/config and view neutrino.conf, look for parentallock_pincode=####

the #### is the pin code.

If you want you can do it from the dbox
Choose Tuxbox Commander
var ok
tuxbox ok
config ok
scroll down to neutrino.conf ok
then scroll down to the line, it is in alphabetical order.

You will find the tuxbox commander by pressing the blue button on your remote then you will see a screan with the dbox files. Then go to var press ok then go to tuxbox press ok then go to config press ok scroll down to neutrino.conf press ok then scroll down to the line,of the password then change to your then press home it will ask you if you want to save press yes. Now your password will be changed.
