Disabling Parental Controls without the PIN

Please don't do this if you actually are a child whose parents have installed the restrictions for your safety, this is for the situations where somebody has enabled them without your will or if you are a parent who has forgotten their childs PIN.

I am not responsible for any damage to your 3DS, action by Nintendo or angry parents as a result of this guide.


  1. Go into parental controls and say you've forgotten your PIN, keep doing this until it says to phone nintendo.
  2. Enter the inquiry number and the systems date into https://mkey.salthax.org/
  3. Enter the key given as a result as the master key on your 3ds.
  4. Done!
There you go, you can now use your 3ds unrestricted. Enjoy! :)

(Thanks to whoever made this site for letting us do this :P )

It does. It says it support system ver 7.2.0 to 10.7.0 (since the last change in this was on that ver).

I recently came into possession of an Aqua blue 3DS that was not working because of a parental lock. Too bad because one phone call to Nintendo and they sorted that shit out for me.
Yeah this is the alternative for people who don't want to get on the phone with Nintendo.

What I used to do with parental locked systems was Google most used pins and go down the list... it actually worked the 2 or 3 times i did it XD

Thanks to SALTs generator, I was able to remove the pin on a Wii I got from goodwill for 15$ and transferred the remaining 15$ (1500 Wii points) to my Wii U. This happened last month but still, yay me B-)

I have a problem I have been trying to fix,
I can't turn off parental controls even though I know the PIN as when i try to Clear Settings by the button in Parental Controls' setting I get this error message:
"The necessary data is missing. With the internet connected, please wait with the HOME Menu open, without activating Sleep Mode. Then try selecting Clear Settings."
I've tried to do so but nothing changes.
If i turn manually off each setting there are some which automatically stay on so I must turn it off through this button but i keep receiving this message.
What should I do?

you really should create a new thread and not dump a old thread. you are more likely to get a answer like that.
