Turn on your Sony television and press the "Menu" button on your Sony television remote. This button is located in the middle of most Sony remotes.
2
Select the "Parental Lock" feature. Use the arrow keys on your Sony remote to scroll and select "Parental Lock."
3
Enter "4357" using the number keypad on the remote. This is the master password for Sony televisions. This password clears and resets your forgotten password.
4
Enter a new 4-digit password. You have now reset the parental lock on your Sony TV.
