A majority of modern-day television sets have some form of parental control system that lets you block the shows or networks your kids aren't allowed to watch. The channel blocking feature of parental control can be a great way to set television boundaries for your child. That being said, parental controls can also be very frustrating for adults. Forgetful parents can get locked out of their favorite networks and shows because they forgot their PIN. Knowing how to reset your DirecTV PIN will ensure that you spend more time watching TV and less time avoiding blocked channels.

...
Blocking channels helps keep kids from seeing adult-themed shows.

Step

Call the DirectTV customer service line. These are the people you must call to reset your PIN.
