How to Remove the Parental Lock of the Television Channel

Parental locks enable you to control the TV content that your children see on your home set. With the advent of cable TV, television programs and cable-cast films offered by pay-TV providers routinely contain adult content that is not allowed in broadcast media. Parents can password-protect material they find unsuitable for young people's eyes and ears. Removing the lock is a matter of entering the correct password into the television's locking mechanism.
