4 digit code to forget old remotes?

My remote keeps unpairing from the Roku stick. So I have to reset the Roku stick and then re-pair the remote. But I do this A LOT. Someone suggested go into my remote settings and click “forget remote” for old paired remotes so I don’t have to keep doing this. However, it’s asking me for a 4 digit code to forget the old remotes. No matter what code I put in it says it’s “not valid”. Can anyone help me figure out what 4 digit code they are wanting? Thank you!

    It gives you the four digit code to input.

    I'm not sure what the purpose of forgetting a remote is.  "It will still work and display in the list...".  Huh?  I tried forgetting a remote and it didn't seem to do anything. 😕

  • I’ve never done that, but my first guess would be that it wants your Roku account PIN?  (Which can be changed or deleted at roku.com, if you wish.)
