Forgot Parental Controls PIN on a Nintendo 3DS Family System
Nintendo 3DS
Follow these steps when:
- You forgot your Parental Controls password.
- You need to reset a Parental Controls PIN on a Nintendo 3DS Family system.
Note
- Registering an e-mail for use with parental controls will allow you to conveniently acquire a PIN-resetting master key in the event that you forget both your PIN and secret question. If you have not done so already, please consider this option once your PIN has been reset. Configure an e-mail for use with parental controls.
- These steps are only valid for devices purchased in the North American and Latin American regions. Note the second letter of the serial number. If it’s anything other than a W or a B, it means the system is from overseas. If that's the case, please contact that region's customer support center.
