Misc Second hand Nintendo switch parental controls removal

[kaosuser]

Hello, I bought a dead Nintendo switch V1 (patched) and I was able to repair it. It had water damage but luckily changing the P13USB ic chip was enough to bring it back to live (and change some ribbon cable, new back cover).

The problem is that it has an account with a parental controls on. It has the latest update so getting a master key from mkey is impossible without the ID Device. I was able to inject a payload (rcmdeviceid) with tegrarcmgui that was supposed to give me the id device but it gives me 32 characters long code and I don't know how to use it since the mkey requires only 16 characters (I tried using both halves of the 32 code). I found a website from Nintendo that can reset the parental controls for 0.50$ but it's only for North America console and my it's European (the account is from France).

So.. any advice?..

Thanks in advance!

If cant use nin to remov parental

Install a core, run homebrew app parental removal then done. You can either leave core in or remove it. Ive done many like this just to remove parentals.

Any idea when I can buy a core ? They are supposed to be very rare right now.

Hi all.
Same problem here; Nintendo don't want to do anything, and tell me to contact the seller. the seller, once connected, don't see any console attached to his account and can't remember his lock code.
Core is ... with a too high price :-/
Any other solution ?

Try phoning them, it's usually faster.

Cant you reset the switch?
when booking, before the nintendo logo, hold power , vol+ and vol-

Otherwise, run the homebrew app by pressing R while loading a game, even cartridge game will work
