[dalejake]

no problem, make sure not to try to hide and lock a channel/boquet. I tried that before and it dont work. just lock it. in boquet editer, it puts a key beside it, i think you press blue for more options in there.

pin code parental control

OK, I found the line: config.ParentalControl.servicepin.0=xxxx in "settings" file in etc/enigma2 folder using DCC (or any FTP client to connect to the box). This line has the PIN code in decimal as entered during setup. So, whoever uses enigma2 (Gemini2 project) operating software for dreambox 800 or 7025, this is where the code is saved. I hope this will help others out there.

thanks it works for dm800 hd

Come on guys the solution works

I had to access my parental lock.

What I did was to FTP my dreambox.

ftp://192.168.1.100/var/tuxbox/config/enigma/

Then copied the config file on my computer.
Opened it in Notepad.
Ctrl+F to locate the "Parental" text in it.
The code had 0000 and then 4 more characters.
I copied the last 4 characters.
Opened calculator
Changed the calculator settings scientific and selected Hex mode
Pasted the 4 characters
Then selected Dec instead of HEX and wlaaaa! there it was, the pin

Have fun!!!!
