Hey guys,
So recently I purchased a Wii U from a second-hand shop and when I brought it home, set it up and turned it on, I was annoyed to find that it had a previous owner on it. Not only that, but the previous owner's account was password protected and the ability to create a new user was blocked by a parental controls pin. Before you immediately comment "oh just go to mkey.salthax.org and get a master code", I cannot access the parental controls app because it is blocked by the previous owner's password protected account. When I try to make a new user, inputting the wrong code 3 times does not give me an inquiry number so I cannot use the master key generator at all. I also have no idea what version the console is on because I cannot open system settings because it is also locked by the password, and I cannot connect it to the internet (even with an ethernet adapter) because that is also inside of system settings which I cannot access.
Is there any way to bypass either of these locks or do I just have an expensive brick?
