How to Delete Parental Controls on your Nintendo Switch 

im sure that some kid watched this hoping to delete it but they didnt have the pin

Feel bad for the kids who tried to get rid of the parental controls

this is both the worst and best comment section i’ve ever read

dad: why is the fbi here?

I watched this because I accidentally put parental Controls lol

I thought a little kid would be telling us how to remove parental controls!!

*when ur a child trying to get rid of parental controls*

If your a younger kid and tried watching this hoping you could learn a trick or hack to get rid of your Parent's settings, then the joke's on you cause you still need the Parent's PIN. Edit 8/26/2020: Looking back on this comment 2 years later, should I have made this comment? I'm starting to cringe at it. Learn from my mistakes, everyone.

Thank you so much for this video. I had the parental control settings turned on when I was fiddling with the settings and I didn't notice that you could delete it until I saw this. Thank you

I’m glad parental controls weren’t around when I was a kid. I can play Bayonetta and The Binding of Issac all day :^)

Im never going to turn on this option again...

*When your a kid trying to get rid of parental controls but the thing is you know the pin because your parents use the same pin for everything they need to hide and have accidentally put it in the TV before*

Wow! To delete your parental controls, who would of thought you had to put in the parental control pin to get rid of it. Well done OP. Now how do i delete them.when ive bought one and the last owner forgot the pin

I was just messing around with it and accidental put the little tab there and couldn't get rid of it thx

Haha thanks, I was messing around with it and it was so annoying seeing it up there. Thank you!

Not great when you bought a second hand switch n don't know the pin like Iv done

Thank You SOOOO Much. I was just playing around with the settings one day and then that box popped up and it's been there for a year so Thank You!!!

THANK U!!! I was experimenting Parent Controls and accidentally turned it on, this video helps so much!!!

Bruh the parents obvisly dont share the pin code too the kid

Thank you, was fiddling around with the switch settings and turned this on to see what would happen.

So idk why this is happening when I was younger I got this on it I took it off and I play animal crossing and my friends downloaded designs and I wanna do that and I followed this video and it worked the box isn’t there but when i go on the app it says that my account isn’t eligible bc it still says that I’m in parental controls so do I wait or delete the app what do I do? help!

5 years later this video is still helping people thanks

Thank you! Ive veen trying to get rid of that annoying box ever since it was turned on

Awesome! I purchased a used switch with a 1 - 1/2 hr parental control timer on - Thank you for taking the time to make this video ^_^

I am never going to tell.my parents about parental control

THANK YOU, I put parental controls on my switch to troll my sister whenever she used it. But now I can’t even connect to WiFi without putting in the pin. Thank you.

But what if you don't know what the code is riddle me that

After 6 years of this video im only finding it in 2024😮 Yes you 100% got a like and sub from me right here

will the switch send a notification to the app saying i removed it because my dad set up parental controls using his phone

I don’t have these on, but whenever I go to download an app that is apparently “not kid friendly” it won’t let me see it. I’m not even a kid, so this is very annoying. Anyone have any help??

And if à don’t have the password what I can do??????

I accidentaly put that orange button for the parental controls and it was anoying to put 0-0-0-0 (the pasword i put) to do almost EVRYTHING thank you for this video, keep the good work ;)

Are you really doing this at 11:40 in the middle of the night

I’m sorry to inform you, but you didn’t turn off the system. All you did was put it to sleep, which, in that case, it’s still on, it’s just not being used. To fully turn it off, place the handheld into the dock, turn on the TV, go to the correct settings for the Switch to display on your TV screen, once it’s displayed: hold DOWN the power button. A menu should appear. Go down to the “Power Options” and choose “Turn Off”. To turn it on, either on or off the dock, hold down the power button and it should boot like normal. Putting it into sleep mode overnight or over and over again will eventually decrease the battery life. Sleep mode is supposed to be if you’re not going to be using it for 1-2 hours or so. I recommend turning it off for when you’re not using it for a long period of time (when you’re going to bed or anything like that).

FOX NEWS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION

You have no idea how grateful I am for this vid thank you

Now my mom is mad at me!!

This is the best explanation I’ve seen on youtube

THANK YOU!

Will this notify whoever sets up the parental controls? Because I don’t want my plans of collecting every past cosmetic from DOOM: Eternal events to be foiled by my parents. Also, so you guys don’t grow concerned, I am 15, will be turning 16 this month.

children: hmm yess

I bet This helped millions of kids across the globe

Well I hope my mother don't know what this is becuase she would destroy my life.

I know how to put it on now, thanks to this video. I have a younger brother who goes on my Nintendo Switch without even asking to play with his female friend and I hate it because he doesn't even ask and he still goes on it. Absolutely no one is going on my switch unless I give permission.

TRIGGERD PARENTS

kid: *deletes parental control* dad: um, son. why is the parental control not working? kid: i delete it. bye bye :3 dad: *TRIGGERS*

Thank you so much

This is why kids you got to set it up first so your parents don’t have access to it

How to delete parental controls... grow up

Thanks, I am 11, and I got rid from parental control :)

Thank you

Bro, this really helped. I was playing around with my switch and I figured out how to do that and then I just didn’t know how to turn it off.

1 parent dont likes this

Kid that disabled the control without watching this :hacker man

Why there are so many people struggling in getting PIN? 4x4x4x4 = 256 combinations. You do just need to try 256 combinations.

Those dislikes are parents who found this video.

THANK U, IM LITERALLY TURNING 13 THIS YEAR AND I NEED THIS

I already knew that I needed my mums phone and her pin thingy to do this, idk why I clicked on this 😂

Thanks! Was messing around with these one day and enabled these, didn't know how to turn if off until now.

Bowser Jr. Is watching cause his playtime ended during a race.

Dude, I am so blind! How did I not see that?! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!!

Does this mean that I can purchase and play mature (18+) games on the switch? If this is the case, will it also work for games purchased from a real life store?

Thank you so much I almost thought I will be stuck like that forever

Thank you for helping me now I can get rid of that useless junk of junk I hate parental controls

thank you so much for this video I am obviously blind and did not see that hidden Delete Settings option…!

When you’re actually 22 trying to override a pin because your 7 year old little sister doesn’t appreciate modern Nintendo.

Thank you. Parental controls is so annoying.

Holy shit this was 6 years ago I swear time goes by so fast it’s crazy 💀

My right ear enjoyed this video

Rest In Peace for the POEPLE who has parental control not me my parents don’t even know wha is parental conteol

Will getting rid of parental controlls remove all the data? And, can you put them back on again or ard they completely deleted?

being a 16 year old kid is painful like why do I need to be supervised like this??

Now All the kids can play Bayonetta

I watched this as a meme knowing I would need the pin

Thank you so much for this video, I time travel alot in animal crossing and my little sister decided it would be a funny prank to put them on my switch so I would always have to put in the pin!!

I need your help I have no idea what to do I can’t download games and I have parental controls turned off. I’m trying to download warframe and attack on titan and it won’t let me

I did not know how you took restricted mode off on RU-vid you go into settings, general, scroll down until you see restricted mode when you switch back on and the comments have been switched off

Theres gonna be a bunch of kids searching this

I like the box at the top - it feels empty without it.

thank you so much i was messing with the settings and then i accedently enabled it

I was screwing around with the settings and accidently turned it on so thanks man

Dad: Why is the FBI at our door?

so my main accounts birth date is 2002 and I cant buys games like outlast, is there a way to fix that or am I screwed?

I'm not watching this because I want them off, I want to put them on my own switch so I can have a pin and I'm trying to see how to remove them in case I don't want it anymore

dude thank you soooooo much. I accidentally turned them on and have been trying to get the stupid parental settings off since I got the switch until I cane acrros this video. again thanks a lot!

I am a kid and I actually was the one who wanted Parental Controls. I got it on my phone and started using it. So technically I can disable it when I want. (Don't worry. My mother let me use it)

is it gonna notify me if i remove it because i know the pin and i wanna get it off lol

If someone says you can’t get the switch then get the nintendo.

THANK U SO MUCH NOW I CAN TIME TRAVEL IN ANIMAL CROSSING

Now you go to parental controls and it asks if you want to unregister the account. This works as well.

As of me, I don’t share my console with my family my brother has an Xbox One and Recently last year I got a PS4 (Check my channel) but I accidentally put parental controls or family manager on there...This year my birthday is September 19.....My Mom’s step dad asked me about what The Nintendo Switch does and I told him....I also mentioned the Parental Controls he said I don’t need them because that is your console not ours...My Mom said I am already getting one cuz my step dad concerned her and had a deal on it...she just made one deal that I am buying my own game for it so they don’t have to buy one....but I will not put parental controls on my console because no one will be playing it besides me (If there is someone that wants to play on it I would love to let them play unlike other people don’t want you to play on your console) I mean I would let my family play Smash Bros and MK8 and whatever but wherever I go my switch goes too..

Thank God I watched ur video I was so stressed because I pla e it accidentally

it works and all...but when im on the nintendo shop, some games are restricted of seeing. how do i get rid of that?

What if you forgot or dont have the pin?

Is it just me or does his voice give me a good feeling?

Thanks this really helps

Thank you so much! My parents put this on my switch and didnt know what it did so they told me the PIN🤣 but honestly they dont even care about age restrictions cuz i alwayse tell them what i buy before buying...

I have had those for the longest time and had no idea how to get rid of it, This whole time I just messed with the settings and had no restrictions at all, but had to see that ornange box on my menu anyways

I don’t know if this is just me but I never enabled or disabled parental controls but whenever I’m trying to view a game in the eshop that is m rated it says I’m not eligible to purchase or view information about this software. What is wrong

Mine does not have the same stuff as yours it asks me for an 8 digit number and it says sync with Nintendo switch parental controls app or unregister app
