A downloadable user guide is available here: http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/LG/42PQ30/17368

The default codes for V-Chip parental control are "0000".

A backdoor code may be "7777" but that is unverified.

There is no information about resetting a lost password in the manuals.  If either of these codes does not work you may need to contact an LG service center.
