Anyone ever buy a used game console from Gamestop or similar retailer?

I bought a PS2 a while back and the parental code thing is locked out and I can't watch The Day the Earth Stood Still on it. Anyone know if there is a way to reset it?

hmm, i am not sure on that one. i thought that if you unplug it it erases those things like the time/date gets reset. i do not have a PS2 handy so i cannot see how to change that settings. did you try entering the password, the default PS2 one should be either 0000 or 9999 (unless it was changed). if all else fails, call the 1 800 345 7669 i hope that helps ya out if all . if you do not have the manual for it (being used) you can view it in PDF FORMAT the section on parental controls and passwords are on pages 33 and 34 .

Here is how to reset the parental lock code:
1. Bring up a screen where the unit asks you to enter in the parental code. You can either insert a restricted disc, or enter the DVD setup menu and go to "parental control" under custom setup.
2. When the screen asks for the code, press the SELECT button, then enter in the code "7444".
3. The level adjustment under Parental Control dictates the strictness of the player. The lower the value, the more strict it will be. Either increase the value to lower the restriction, or disable the lock entirely by setting it to "off".
4. Once you have made your adjustments, be sure that the DVD tray is empty, and press the RESET button on the front of the Playstation 2. It is imperative the tray is clear of any DVD or game for the unit to save your settings.
