Parental controls PIN not working

Jump to solution

I have set up my Roku devices with a PIN being required for adding channels and purchases.  My son was able to add a channel on the Roku by entering any 4 random numbers when the PIN was prompted.  I have multiple Roku devices and I tested this on each one and the same thing happened, using random numbers.  I logged on to my account at Roku.com and it is set correctly to require a PIN, but the device is allowing channels to be added without the correct PIN.

I am having the same issue. My son downloads things that are not good for a 6 year old. How can we get this fixed.
