in this video we are going to reset a
nintendo
dsi now i've picked this one up second
hand
and it has parental controls on it so i
don't know
the password to be able to reset this
because what i want to do is get this
back to factory settings and with the
parental controls on
i simply can't do that but there is a
way around it so in this video
i'm going to show you the steps you need
to take to reset
your nintendo dsi okay so what you want
to do
is to find the
system settings we'll go
in there
and then scroll along
and you've got parental controls
change parental control settings yes
now this is where it's going to prompt
you for a pass word so
i don't know the password this is the
problem so you click on
i forgot
and we do it again then it comes up with
this
screen if you forgot your pin and the
answer to your secret question
call the number given in the nintendo
dsi operations manual and provide this
following
enquiry number you will then be issued a
master key
enquiry number that okay so what you do
at this point
is you go to a website
i will link the website below and it
will be below this video
we parental control password reset
tool uh and this works for the dsi
so we will pop in
the confirmation number okay so i've
punched that in there now
next you want to make sure the date on
your dsi
matches this and that is correct current
date in your time zone
um often the dates will be wrong on
these so
go in and change the date so it's
correct if you need to
so that matches up and is correct
and then if we click this get reset code
you are given a code here this 80840
number
okay so come back to the dsi
click ok and then we're given this
screen so it's
eight zero eight four
oh so eight zero
eight four
zero and
okay
select the settings you want to edit
let's clear settings
yes settings
cleared so now we should be able to
format system memory this has loads and
loads of pictures on it
um and all sorts of stuff saved onto the
system memory this is the whole point of
this
um wiping it back to factory uh format
system memory
this will delete added software and all
save data
i couldn't do this before when it had
the parental controls on it this is the
whole point
um okay do you still want format
click format
continue formatting once formatted data
cannot be restored make sure you want
format
and away we go
okay that takes a few seconds and then
you get this message formatting complete
the system will now shut down
and you are done okay so i hope that was
useful this now can be sold
as a formatted back to factory settings
uh as you can see there pokemon edition
dsi
hopefully that was helpful for you thank
you so much for watching
take care i'll see you soon
