How to activate and deactivate child lock on LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K

Child blocking and protection, or parental control, is very useful to prevent your children from watching certain programs or accessing certain applications.

Parental control is an optional feature that is often available on high-end devices such as your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K.

However, it may be difficult to activate or deactivate this mode on your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K. We will see here some methods that allow to set these parameters in less than 10 seconds.

If you know the lock code

If you have never set the child lock on your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K before, the lock code is probably the factory default.

It’s likely to be “0000” or “9443”.

If you have already set the child lock, then you will have to enter the code set before.

To lock and unlock the child mode, go to the “Menu” of your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K.

You can access this through the same button on the remote control, or by pressing the Menu button once, located on the bottom or side of your TV.

Once there, go to the sub-menu “Broadcast” or “Configuration” of your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K, by pressing the Plus and minus keys of your remote control or of your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K.

You will be able to set various parameters such as:

• The viewing time per session
• The maximum viewing time per day
• Unauthorized viewing hours
• The type of programs allowed, such as cartoons: content filtering
• Allowed applications
• Monitoring children’s activity on your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K

Choose questions instead of a PIN number

To change the child mode later, you can choose to use questions instead of a PIN code.

However, be careful not to ask too difficult questions, as you will have to remember them.

What should I do if I forgot the child safety password on LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K

We have identified four methods to disable the child lock if the password is forgotten.

1. Via the “Menu” of your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K

In this case, simply select the “Function” or “Menu” item on your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K.

With this method, you will have to press and hold the mute button on your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K for a few seconds, or the button located on your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K to turn on the display.

Then hold down the return button for a few seconds as well.

3. Use a universal password to unlock child mode

Go to the child lock menu of your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K, via your remote control or directly via the “Menu” buttons and then “Program more and less”.

Next, try a universal password like “0000” or “9443”.

If this doesn’t work, you can contact your dealer.

They will give you the universal password to unlock child mode.

To conclude on parental control

As we have seen, parental control on your LG OLED65B9 TV OLED 4K is very useful.

Removing the rough parts of computer games and blocking various websites that include adult images or swearings are, of course, part of these parental controls.
