How to Reset a Playstation 2 Password

PlayStation 2 includes a parental control feature that allows users to restrict the level of DVD content that can be displayed on the console. The parental control feature is activated by the user assigning a four-digit pass code and restricting content based on levels. If you have forgotten the password assigned to your PlayStation 2, you can assign a new one using the DVD control panel.
