Hardware Remove parental control from Wii U?

[Keylogger]

Hello,

I bought a second hand Wii U on ebay but there is a parental control code and the seller doesn't know the code/mail address.

Anyway to remove this code?

I would think that you could probably do a factory reset, that should remove it

that didn't work on my wii's so it would be really dumb for nintendo if it would work on wiiu

use this site ($ 0.50): http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/assets/pin.jsp
or use (for free, but some date codes won't work so it seems): http://wii.marcan.st/parental

Oh, that's actually really good to know, thanks! I guess that's to prevent kids from bypassing it themselves??

If you have the homebrew channel on your vWii you can get the parental pin with this
InspectMii - See dozens of your Wii's settings

If you can still get into the Parental Controls settings, just tap I Forgot twice and you'll get a number you can tell to Nintendo to reset it.

Still gotta pay $0.50 with that method.

I realized after posting; however, if nothing else works, it's basically the guaranteed method.

I can't start the Wii Channel without the code :/

I guess I have to contact nintendo

If all else fails there is always the gut swap method, but that is a PIA.

Why did someone block the Wii channel? Kids want to play Wii games too.
