Need to delete or change four digit parental control pin on my Panasonic HDD Recorder Model no DMR-HWT250 DMR-HWT150.

It may help you.

This is the definitive answer from Panasonic Customer Services. It worked for me.

In response to your enquiry, I am writing to inform you that you can reset the PIN number to the default 0000 and then change it, based on your preference. In order to reset the PIN, please follow the next steps:
1. Switch ON the unit;
2. Press and hold the OK, YELLOW and BLUE buttons, at the same time, until you see 00 RET displayed on the unit;
3. Press, repeatedly, the RIGHT ARROW buton until you see 03 VL;
4. Press OK and you should see "INIT" displayed on the unit.
This will reset the PIN number to the 0000 factory preset.
Furthermore, you should also be able to remove the message that is asking you for the child lock PIN while attempting to play back a recording. In order to do this, please follow the next steps:
1. Press SETUP;
2. Choose HDD/USB HDD;
3. Select CHILD LOCK FOR PLAYBACK;
4. Input the default 0000 code;
5. Switch it to OFF.
After performing these steps, the recorder should no longer ask you for the PIN when trying to playback a recording.
I trust that the above information will be of assistance to you. However, of course, if you should have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards,

this is the manual for your unit

Dry joint - faulty capacitor on the PC board of the decoder. Found by wiggling the components and resoldering

You could try Changing the Remote Control code for your DVD recorder. If you have more than one Panasonic device, there's an option to give each device its own Remote Control code. The Default is DVD1. So for FixMick, it sounds like someone may have changed the Remote Control code on your machine to DVD3. For Dador, someone may have changed the Code to DVD1. So you'll need to change the Code on either the device or the Remote to make them match up (see page 19 of the DMR-EH65 Users Manual ... you can download it from the Panasonic website)

Sorry FixMick. I don't know why your display isn't working.

i spent hours looking for this... here it is

Use the numeric keypad 0-9 to enter your four-digit pin code.

• If you forget your four-digit pin code, the default password is 3308.

I pressed all the buttons on the remote control untill I found the right ones. It was trial and error.

Repair is not cost effective but if you want to pursue, call panasonic or go to web site for authorized repair places in your area.
