More Specifically how to go through it all. :) i finally figured mine out while staring at about 3-5 different discussion and FAQ boards over the subject... when the dvd says it cant play because of the parental lock, hit yes to go to the password screen. hit select, then enter 7-4-4-4 to delete the old one. for the new password, 0-0-0-0 is the easiest to replace it with. Then stop the dvd by hitting the "o" button. from this blank black screen, you can pull up the menu with the select button. go to the icon that says "setup" and in the 3rd tab you should have the parental controls... to get into them, you just enter in the 0-0-0-0 code now. after that, you can change the level to "off". once you've done all this, exit out of all the menus and eject the movie. take it out of the tray and restart. make sure there isn't a dvd in, so it will save all your changes. Happy Gaming, Happy Movie Watching. -JEP

Works really well! Thanks!

thanks so much you are a genius.

Thank you!! :) our DVD player broke and the remote to my son's TV isn't working and we're low on cash so this was our last resort and I was horribly dismayed at the sudden discovery that our ps2 had a parental lock on it- Thank you so much for posting this- i was at a loss for what to do :)

It works I don't think it works on the code 0000 though, I tried it again after I reset it and changed it to 0000 it didn't work on that code

This is excellent. Works just as described. We can finally watch Barbie :-)

so yes it worked but i have to say there is no custom setup thing on the system. So just do step number 2, because that one actually works. We got it to work,

You all are great. I spent nearly a year trying to crack this code cause the ps2 is second hand. And I scored above extremely high on cracking codes on my asvab. (Armed services vocational aptitude battery). Thank you for the help!!!!!!

how to break parental control of SONY PlayStation 2

This sucks it don't work I attended to do it a lot and it dont work you suck

okay so the select comments are right but incomplete. When asked for the password press Select. It will change DELETE password. Now enter 7444 and then reenter to confirm. it will then say "Delete Confirmed" and ask you to Register a New Password, put in a 4 digit password of your choice (if you're not going to need a password I suggest just something quick like 0000; if you actually need the password lock then customize it and read on). Now the movie should be playing; press select to get your video options menu, choose setup and scroll over to Password (the LOCK). Scroll down to where it says parental controls, highlight level and scroll up to where it says OFF and then select the choice. Your password is now turned off and you will nto be prompted for it again.

Thanks, now my nephew can watch Star Wars on my old PS2. Still relevant!

i did the 7444 and it still does not work any sugestions
