How to Remove Passcode Pin & Reset for Parental Controls on PS5
To remove or reset the parental controls passcode (console restriction passcode) on a PlayStation 5 (PS5), you cannot directly disable or change the passcode without knowing it. If the passcode is forgotten, you must reset the console to factory settings, which removes all parental controls and data. Below are the steps to reset the passcode and remove parental controls:
Back Up Data (Optional but Recommended):
Save games, screenshots, and other data to avoid permanent loss.
Go to Settings, System, Back Up and Restore, Back Up Your PS5. Use a USB drive or PlayStation Plus cloud storage if subscribed.
Sync trophies via Trophies, Sync with PlayStation Network.
Access Settings:
Sign in with any account. If parental controls block access, use Safe Mode (Step 4).
Navigate to Reset Options:
From the home screen, select the gear icon for Settings.
Go to System, System Software, Reset Options, Reset Your Console.
Reset via Safe Mode (if Settings is inaccessible):
Turn off the PS5 completely, not in Rest Mode.
Hold the power button until a second beep, about 7 seconds, to enter Safe Mode.
Connect a controller via USB and press the PS button.
Select Reset PS5 from the Safe Mode menu.
Perform the Factory Reset:
Choose Reset PS5 (Reinstall System Software) if prompted. This wipes all data, including the parental controls passcode and settings, resetting the console to its original state.
Follow on-screen instructions. You may need a USB drive with the latest PS5 system software, downloadable from PlayStation’s official site.
Set Up the PS5 Again:
After the reset, follow the on-screen setup process.
Sign in with your PlayStation Network account and restore backed-up data if available.
Remove or Reconfigure Parental Controls:
After the reset, parental controls and the passcode are removed (default passcode is 0000 if you choose to set restrictions again).
To set new parental controls, sign in as the family manager, go to Settings, Family and Parental Controls, PS5 Console Restrictions.
Set a new four-digit passcode if desired, or leave restrictions off to remove parental controls entirely.
Configure child account settings as needed, such as time limits or content restrictions.
