Changing Playstation 2 DVD Password
Apparently my instructions were vague and thanks to reader Hans, he gave me a better set of instructions.
- Insert a DVD Movie into the PlayStation®2.
- You should receive a message informing you that the Parental Level has been set, and asking if you’d like to allow the disc to play. Highlight “Yes” and then press the X button.
- A new window will appear asking you to temporarily change the Parental Control to a different level. Again, highlight “Yes”, and then press the X button.
- Another window will appear asking you to enter your Password. Above that window are numbers (0-9).
- Do not enter your password, but instead, press the select button on your Controller. This will change the text in the window from “Enter Password” to “Delete Password”.
- Using the numbers above the window, input 7444. If successful, you will receive a message stating “Deletion Complete”.
- Press Select. You will now be asked to register a new password. Please select a four-digit code of your choosing.
- You will be asked to confirm your password selection by inputting the same code once again. If successful, you will receive a message stating “Registration Confirmed”.
- Now you need to turn off the password altogether. The movie should have started playing by now. Press select and chose Setup. Go to the parental control “tab” and set the level to “off”.
- Now you should be able to watch any movie.
Old Instructions
I was trying to find out how to change my Playstation 2 DVD Parental Control Password since I am the only one who uses it. I found a resource that explained how to accomplish this.
- Insert DVD into Playstation 2
- When the “Enter Password” screen appears, press the select button
- Enter 7444 as the password to reset (7444 is the default by Sony)
- Next, enter a new password
- Confirm new password
That is all….So easy

This password reset number (7444) did not work for me. Please help……

it worked for me and a few of my friends, I have been told that it is the Universal reset number. You need to make sure that you hit select to get to the reset code.

Try this. I found it on another site. It worked for me.
To reset your password:
1. Insert a DVD Movie into the PlayStation®2.
2. You should receive a message informing you that the Parental Level has been set, and asking if you’d like to allow the disc to play. Highlight “Yes” and then press the X button.
3. A new window will appear asking you to temporarily change the Parental Control to a different level. Again, highlight “Yes”, and then press the X button.
4. Another window will appear asking you to enter your Password. Above that window are numbers (0-9).
5. Do not enter your password, but instead, press the select button on your Controller. This will change the text in the window from “Enter Password” to “Delete Password”.
6. Using the numbers above the window, input 7444. If successful, you will receive a message stating “Deletion Complete”.
7. Press Select. You will now be asked to register a new password. Please select a four-digit code of your choosing.
8. You will be asked to confirm your password selection by inputting the same code once again. If successful, you will receive a message stating “Registration Confirmed”.
9. Now you need to turn off the password altogether. The movie should have started playing by now. Press select and chose Setup. Go to the parental control “tab” and set the level to “off”.
10. Now you should be able to watch any movie.

the 7444 code does not work for my ps2. what to do now help me please.
Posted: Feb 12th, 2007 at 1:49 am
I am sorry, I do not know what the problem is. Everyone that I have talked to has told me that 7444 is the default code.
Posted: Feb 12th, 2007 at 4:54 pm

Posted: Feb 23rd, 2007 at 2:00 am
Is there another way because 7444 is not working for me! help
Posted: Feb 23rd, 2007 at 2:03 am
Holding the select button while typing 7444 works better! Thx
Posted: Feb 23rd, 2007 at 2:04 am
Thanks for the update on how it worked for you…enjoy
Posted: Feb 23rd, 2007 at 2:07 am
Thanks Miranda I went crazy for a half hour trying to figure out why 7444 wasn’t working. Pressing select is what did it.
Posted: Feb 23rd, 2007 at 10:43 am
Yes….If you read my original post, you need to press select for it to work.

Great instructions, but I’m having trouble with step 9 in Stephanie O’s instructions above. I want to turn off the password request, so I can play any DVD without entering the password everytime. I followed steps 1 thru 8 just fine. I have gone to the Setup icon and scrolled to the Custom Setup tab. In that tab is lists Pause Mode and Parental Control. I scroll down to Parental Control, but the text is grayed out, and I can’t select it in order to turn it off. (The menu options I can control are highlighted in blue when I scroll over them.) Any ideas on how to gain access to the Parental Control settings? Thanks!

thanks stephanie. that totally did it. so smart to look online for this here

hi i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to completely wipe out the password options. I tried resetting the playstation 2 but it does not work.
Posted: Apr 25th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
I figured it out by downloading the manual. After you get the movie to play. You have to hit select on the controller go into setup and push stop ( to stop the movie from playing) then go into parental control, type in the new password and go to level and go to the top and select “off” then “change password” and officially change it or you will have to do it all over again. ***MAKE SURE YOU ARE DEPRESSING SELECT AS YOU DELETE AND TYPE IN NEW PASSWORD, BUT NOT WHEN YOU RENTER ON STEP 8.

Hello! Cool guestbook, interesting information. Keep it UP.
I’ll be back.

In addition to Stephanie O’s post, you need to eject the DVD after step 10, otherwise the changes that you made won’t save.
Posted: Jun 11th, 2007 at 10:09 am
The reason y it did not work 4 sum of yall because yall forgot to press select. I did that the first time around the re read it and relize the mistake i made. Well anyway thankyou tou the help.

HOLD DOWN SELECT FOR A FEW SECONDS. Then 7444 code will work. Also try holding select while typing 7444. You guys are the best!

I have one of the first playstation 2s that came out and recently lent it to a friend. Plugged it in tonight after they returned it to watch a movie and a password was on it. Thanks to all the advice on here I just typed in 7444 and it worked like a charm. Reset the password to what I wanted and all is good. Thanks all!!!
Posted: Aug 20th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
This was extremely helpful. I was trying to start a DVD but I didn’t know the password so I searched on google and found this site. I was expecting to spent 5 minutes looking for help on what to do and then go onto another site because I figured the this site, being the first site I checked, would have nothing. Boy was I wrong. This was a huge help, I found everything I needed in 5 seconds, thanks a ton! I took time out from the watching the movie to thank you because of how helpful you were.
Thanks again,
-Ian

its simpler then wat u said when it asks to set parental level to lets say 8. then the password thing pops up wait a sec then press seletion and it will say type in deltion code. type “7444″ then it says password deleted. then make up ur own password.
