How To Reset A Roku Security Pin

When setting up a Roku sometimes people feel the need to have a security PIN. These can be helpful to prevent accidental purchases using your Roku account and control what types of channels are added to the system. Recently the PIN started being used to set rating limits in the Roku Channel. Whatever the reason for setting it up in the first place, sometimes people forget what they chose as a PIN number. Or just as bad they forget their Roku Account password and email. Either problem will prevent one from making changes. Follow these steps to change your Roku security PIN and if needed your Roku account password. Personally, I don’t use PIN numbers on my devices. But I don’t have young kids.

In order to change the PIN Settings, you must be able to sign in to your account on Roku’s Website. If you know your Roku email address skip to the next section. If not, do the following steps.

1. Start by pressing home and going into the settings of your Roku.
2. Scroll down and click Settings.
