Vizio... E221-a1 Tv. Is There A Default Code For Using The Parental Controls
I.just purchased a used vizio e221a1 TV from a pawn shop, and while browsing the menu, ran across the parental controls, which asked for a 4 digit pin. Is there a default code, or any way to clear an unknown code to the factory reset conditions?

The default is 0000. If that doesn't work, it's been changed by a former owner, and you must obtain it from that person. Sorry I can't give you better news.
