The Lock Icons

The Lock/Unlock icons in the channel banner are an easy way to lock or unlock the system. Press INFO and select the icon to change the lock status.

Green Unlock icon

The system is unlocked. Spending, viewing and other limits can be accessed and changed.

Yellow Unlock icon

A password has been entered to override limits. No limits can be accessed or changed in the menu without a system password.

Red Lock icon

Limits cannot be accessed or changed without the system password and all limits are in effect.

Unlocking the System

When the system is unlocked, the channel, spending, viewing, and rating limits that you set are no longer in effect. To unlock:

1.Highlight Unlock System in the Profiles menu and press OK.

2.Highlight Yes and press OK to confirm that you want to unlock the system.

When you attempt to access a channel that is blocked by one or more limits and the system is locked, you will be asked to temporarily unlock the system by entering the 4-digit system password.

If you enter the system password to override a limit, all limits are unlocked until you turn off the TV. When you turn on the TV again, the system will be locked, and the Family profile channel list will be selected. If you want to re-lock the system without turning off the TV, you can select the lock icon in the channel banner.

Tip: I forget my password

If you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming and forget the system password, contact your satellite program provider’s authorization center.

If you forget the system password and do not have DIRECTV® programming, remove the access card from the TV’s back panel (store it in a safe place, or reinsert it upside down to store it in the TV). Press and hold the INFO button on the front panel; simultaneously press and hold the WHO button on the remote control. Continue to hold for three seconds. All passwords will be cleared.
