Is there a way to block factory reset option

Jump to solution

I understand the parental control lock though after a few seconds I discovered that this can be bypassed in the settings by using factory reset.

is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Welcome to the Roku Community, @Nate1225!

We understand your concerns about stopping or blocking the factory reset option on a Roku device. While Roku's parental controls can be bypassed by performing a factory reset, there isn't a direct way to completely block the factory reset option within the parental control settings on a standard Roku device.

However, you can add an extra layer of security by setting a PIN to access the settings menu, which would require the PIN to initiate a factory reset.

For more detailed information about setting up a PIN, please refer to the guide below:

We hope this helps!

Thanks,
Chel
