perform a factory reset operation, as explained in Factory reset everything

to write it down in a safe place just in case.
Blocking Broadcast TV shows
For broadcast TV, parental controls use information embedded in the broadcast
signal to determine whether to allow a program to be displayed. Parents can
configure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a
specific rating, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control
PIN is entered.
Note:
Rating standards differ by country.
Enabling parental control of TV shows
The first step in blocking TV shows is to enable parental control of TV shows.
This setting is provided separately to make it easier for you to turn parental control of
TV shows on and off without disturbing their settings. For example, your kids are
going to summer camp for two weeks, and while they are gone, you don’t want to
have to deal with unblocking shows that you want to watch by entering your parental
control PIN. All you need to do is clear Enable parental controls, and all TV shows are
unblocked. When the kids return, select Enable parental controls again, and all of
your parental control settings are restored in a single operation.
To enable parental control of TV shows:
1. In the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then
enter your parental control PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Parental control of TV
shows.
3. Make sure the check box next to Enable parental controls is checked. If not,
highlight it and press OK.
