Nintendo Switch Parental Controls- A reseller's guide to getting rid of them!

Ойын-сауық

NOTE: The site for Nintendo that the Switch shows is now a 404 site. The new one is parentalcontrols.nintendo.com/
Got a great deal at a yard sale for a #NintendoSwitch but it has a #ParentalLock on it? That sucks! But you can defeat it, and I can show you how. Actual tutorial starts at 4:28.

    Get onto nintendo chat or call customer support. It shouldn't cost you anything and takes a few minutes. I just did this the other day. Note that the master key generatedwill only work with a specific inquiry number. If you navigate away on the switch and get a different inquiry number, the master key you got the first time round will not work.

I was given the switch but it is linked to a phone app. Thing is i have no access to that. Did you sort your issue out ? I do see an option to unlink app, not at home now but if i press that it might just look for the password id say ?
