XBox 360 Password reset - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

***chlngr1970*** · 09-23-2007, 07:32 PM

So, someone set a parental password on my XBox 360, and I need to know how to reset it. Anybody know a way to do it?

I checked out several forums, but non of the suggestions offered seem to work when I tested them on my system. Maybe try calling 1-800-4MY-XBOX?

EDIT: Just a thought, but did they set a secret question, and if so is it something that could be answered?

Could ya maybe find the someone and ask them what it was? How many people have access to your 360???

Yeah, this someone stuff sounds very suspicious

Is that password stored internally or on 360 HD I wonder

So, calling MS solved the problem. I can now watch HD DVDs on my Xbox 360!

I'd like to know how to get rid of it. I accidentally set one trying to find the password for my live account, hate having to enter it to sign in online. As for the Live account password, it's not anything I ever used whatever it is. Guess when that credit card expires, no more Xbox Live for me.

Was it something that MS did, or did they provide you with a method to reset the password?

***chlngr1970*** · 11-05-2007, 05:42 AM

Sorry I didn't get this sooner, but their tech support was actually helpfull. They gave me a sequence of buttons to push. I'll see if I can find the envelope I writ them down on...
