How to disable parental controls on PlayStation 2

If you use PlayStation , and have played with the console for years, it is very possible that even at home you have a PlayStation 2 . As you will surely remember, the truth is that this version developed by Sony stood out not only for being a complete video game system, but also a DVD player .

However, since the console is commonly used by the little ones in the house, many parents used the parental lock function with the intention of limiting the type of movies that the PlayStation 2 could play .

As this is a fairly old console, we may no longer remember the parental code that we first introduced quite a few years ago. It may even be the case that we recently bought a used console, so we simply do not know what the code is.

Regardless of the reason, there is no doubt that a possible solution is to disable the parental control password , to be able to play our favorite DVD movies without the need for the system to ask us for the password when we insert the disc into the console.

Disabling the PlayStation 2 password

Although we have previously learned how to change the password of the PS2, another equally simple step is to disable it . To do this, we must do the same as in the first section. That is, insert a DVD movie .

Once the movie in question has started to play, we press the Select button. This will open an icon menu. We now select the Stop icon and click the X button.

The menu will close and the movie will stop. Now we press Select again and again the Stop button, which will make the button turn gray.

We click on the Settings icon (the icon that looks like a briefcase), use the Right direction button on the remote to get to the Custom Settings screen, and press down until we select Parental Control Settings . Again, we press the Right direction button to choose it.

We enter the password , choose the level of protection by scrolling down until we reach the Level option, and choosing the number 8 we will deactivate the parental controls. To finish, we close all the menus and proceed to restart our console .

As we can see, the process is as simple as it is simple, although it is necessary to know how to do it to follow the recommended steps. Remember that, although it is possible to change the password for a new one (a useful option if there are children at home), you can directly disable it.
