How to Unlock XBox DVDs

The original Xbox console can play most DVDs in addition to playing video games. However, you might find your Xbox is unable to play DVDs, and the reason why might be because a parental lock code has been set (this might have happened before you owned the Xbox). Parental lock codes prevent you from ever being able to play DVDs, but there is a way to reset this code without ruining or harming your Xbox.
