RELEASE Reset Parental Control NX: An easy to reset the pin for controls!

Thank you!..

At github, release file reset_paretnal_controls.zip have a small mistake in a filename.

 

I'm not sure I agree with releasing something like this, as a parent. You are backdooring security parents are setting to control what their kids can play. This has nothing to do with nintendo security, and everything to do as parent security. As a parent, screw you

 

the worry isn’t bricking, the worry is playing games and content you don’t want your child to play. Sure the child could Brock the switch, it before this, they couldn’t play mortal kombat. I use parental controls on my switch.

there is really no other use for this, but to bypass parents locking down the devices.

 

This probably explains 90% of the 404's for broken download links on xbins haahahaha. The other 10% is when (every single time) atmosphere posts a new release and then recompiles the build like 30 min later to hotfix something.

 

If a kid can find, install and successfully remove parental PIN control with this (gorgeous) homebrew app, so s/he deserves the freedom from Nintendo parental control system.

 

I love where this thread is going. All a bunch of parents pissed that this can be used to bypass their authority

You guys are forgetting your youth! Bypassing authority is what the entire hacking scene is about

Keep up the solid justice.

 

You have kids?

 

Thanks! Looks like this might be what I have been looking for. I've been looking for a way to quickly fully disable parental controls, then reenable it again. Parental controls have to be fully off in order to use date switching tricks in Sword and Shield.

Edit: The app is crashing when I try and change the pin. I forgot that when I set up my EmuMMC I had the parental controls synced to the phone app. I think that is causing issues now. Any idea how to disable that on an offline switch?

 

I tried the unlink and it worked. Nothing changed on the screen but I could see it was unlinked when I exited and went to settings. You might want to add a notification to let the user know it did it. I then tried deleting controls and that worked with the same lack of a message as the unlinking. After that I reenabled parental controls and tried changing the pin and it crashed again. So maybe the crash has nothing to do with the linked account. I'm on 9.0.1 on atmosphere 10.1

 

Excellent! Hope this is used for good.

 

Also note sure if this is helpful, but I tried the other tool for this purpose, pctl-shooter and it was able to reset my pin without crashing. Your tool still crashes me when I try and change pin.
