Prevent children from changing parental controls on PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4
Learn how to prevent children from changing parental controls on PS5™ and PS4™.
Set a system restriction passcode
The system restriction passcode prevents your child from changing parental controls settings on your PlayStation, such as age ratings and default parental controls. Make sure to choose a memorable passcode that only you know. Only share it with the family member(s) you appoint as guardian because it enables all controls to be changed or removed.
- Sign in as the family manager and go Settings > Family and Parental Controls > PS5 Console Restrictions.
- Enter the existing system restriction passcode. If you haven't set one before, the default is 0000.
- Select Change Your System Restriction Passcode.
- Enter a new four-digit passcode using the corresponding buttons on the controller. Make sure it's something memorable that only you know.
- Enter the passcode a second time to confirm.
- On your PS4 system, go to Settings > Parental Controls/Family Management > PS4 System Restrictions.
- Enter the existing system restriction passcode. If you haven't set one before, the default is 0000.
- Select Change System Restriction Passcode.

- Enter the passcode a second time to confirm.
