PS2 - Parental Controls
Years ago when I first got my Play Station 2 I wasn't paying much attention when setting it up, and just kept clicking the X-button. And ever since then, whenever I watch ANYTHING on DVD I have to enter the password (I don't even know what it is, not really...just keep hitting X like four times). Does anyone know how to lift this or reset the system? I can't figure out how and don't have my manual from oh so long ago. Sorry if this has been asked before, but Searching turned up nothing. Thanks!

Try this
1. Insert a DVD Movie into the PlayStation®2.
2. You should receive a message informing you that the Parental Level has been set, and asking if youý"d like to allow the disc to play. Highlight "Yes" and then press the X button.
3. A new window will appear asking you to temporarily change the Parental Control to a different level. Again, highlight "Yes", and then press the X button.
4. Another window will appear asking you to enter your Password. Above that window are numbers (0-9).
5. Do not enter your password, but instead, press the select button on your Controller. This will change the text in the window from "Enter Password" to "Delete Password".
6. Using the numbers above the window, input 7444. If successful, you will receive a message stating "Deletion Complete".
7. Press Select. You will now be asked to register a new password. Please select a four-digit code of your choosing.
8. You will be asked to confirm your password selection by inputting the same code once again. If successful, you will receive a message stating "Registration Confirmed".
9. Now you need to turn off the password altogether. The movie should of started playing by now. Press select and chose Setup. Go to the parental control "tab" and set the level to "off".
10. Now you should be able to watch any movie
