Parental controls on PlayStation 4 can be useful for keeping your children safe from inappropriate content. However, if you are an adult or your kids have grown up and you no longer need to restrict access to certain games or content, you may want to turn off the parental controls.
In this article, we’ll show you how to turn off parental controls on PS4. It’s a straightforward process that can be done in a few simple steps.
First, go to the home screen of your PlayStation 4. Then, go to the top bar and scroll to the right to access the “Settings” option. Select it and then go down to “Parental Controls/Family Management” and click on it.
Once you’re in that menu, go to “PS4 System Restrictions.” You will be prompted to enter a passcode. The default passcode is “0000”. Enter that in, and you’ll be taken to the PlayStation 4 system restrictions page.
Under “New Users Creation and Login,” select “Allow”. For the Web Filter, make sure all the options are unchecked. For the default parental controls, let this be and scroll all the way to the top to “Allowed Land” for age levels for games and blu-rays. Go to “Allow” for both.
For “Country/Region,” put in your region. For use of PlayStation VR and internet browser, select “Allowed”. You can keep the “Temporary Disable PS4 Restrictions” option checked if you want, but it’s not necessary. Finally, change the system restriction passcode to whatever you want.
And that’s it! You have successfully turned off parental controls on your PS4. If you want to temporarily disable them instead of turning them off completely, you can check the “Temporary Disable PS4 Restrictions” option.
