Unlocking Parental Block Tutorial / Factory Reset

Ok, so you are here because there is a parental lock on your console. There are 3 different methods of removing this. All require some work on your part, and some are easier then others. I can't stress this enough. ALL CONSOLES HAVE A DIFFERENT CODE!! We will cover all three different methods in this tut..

1. No hardware to dump nand, works on all retails.

Spoiler: The easy way

This is the easiest way. It involves you calling Microsoft support. Tell them you just bought the console and it had a parental code set and you need to unlock it. They will ask for your serial number, and it may have to be register to you. Give it to them and they will give you steps needed for your particular console to factory reset it.

2. Have a way to dump the nand. Can work on RGH or retail, as long as you dump the nand.

Spoiler: nand-x/jr-programmer

This is a multi step process. First you have to dump the nand. You need Jrunner and you need to wire in the nand-x cables.

Once your cables are wired in click Read Nand in Jrunner.


Once it is read, click tools.


Then click SMC config and this will pop up. Look at the reset code


This is your factory reset code for the console. Power on your xbox. Go to Settings -> System -> Console Settings -> System Info and enter the following code. Left trigger, Right trigger, X, Y, Left Bumper, Right bumper, (enter reset code here.)

If you entered wrong, it will take you back to the Console settings screen. If you do it right it will show this.


Click yes and it will reset you console to factory settings removing all parental settings.

3. You want to RGH/JTAG ect.

Spoiler: The fun way

This method is used if you have or are about to perform the RGH/JTAG hack. You perform all the steps in the multiple other tuts, the only difference is you add a step before you click create xebuild image.

Click XB Settings


Click advanced XeBuild Options


Click NoMobile


Then continue to build your nand as your normally would.

 

Thanks. I see this question pop up once in a while and figured there should be a tut on how to get around it. If you see any typos or things I should add feel free to comment.
