Playstation2 DVD playback question

[bbkat]

My nephew got a PS2 for Christmas and the family is having trouble playing DVD's. From what I can gather, there is a security password involved. Apparently they can't RTFM, because they lost it. I haven't been able to find one online so this is the next best source -

Is there such a password? Is it a default, or did someone enter it? How do they reset it?

Thanks

I really don't think it can be "reset." You might be SOL.

try to play it without the memory card.

The default is 1234 - try that...

Yeah I had this problem too, many people do, you have to take the password off, it's in the manuel somewhere, it might be 1234 or something like that.

default is actually 4447 or something like that..if this is the first time you play a dvd you have to set up a pw

I have the same problem. I solved it by buying a new DVD player

i recommend getting a cheap dvd player anyway as using the ps2 as one just puts more wear on it. It also seems to have problems with skipping and freezing anyway (my friend's did), if you use it a lot.

c'mon man, I just wanna watch "Stuart Little" in my own room!


Thanks for all the reply's, I actually registered on a gamers forum to try and find an answer - or at least a f***ing manual online. I'd be better off buying an Apex than spending anymore time on this at work.
