Set or Change the Password

have now. The receiver displays stars (*) as you
enter the digits of the password. When you enter

highlights the
OK
option. Press the SELECT
button.
4. Enter the new password.
5. Enter the new password again to confirm your
choice.
6. Select the

If You Forget the Password
If you forget the password, call the Customer Service Center at
1-800-333-DISH (3474). You may need to give us information such as your
name, your address, your telephone number, the receiver serial number (see
Order Your Program Packages on page 3), and your Personal Identification
Number (PIN), if you use one (see page 48).
Rating Code Locks
• Rating code locks use the codes the original program providers assign
to the programs. The actual content of the programs may be different
from the assigned ratings.
Note
: No rating system can guarantee that all unwanted material is
screened out.
• Like all other locks, these locks work only when you lock the receiver.
• You can lock any satellite program, even a pay per view program.
• The locks built into some TVs (“V chip” locks) don’t work for satellite
programs.
• TV program ratings are different from movie ratings.
• Receiver locks don’t work for TV programs.
Important: If
you create a
password, be
sure to write it
down and put
it away some
where safe, as
you will not
be able to
change any
locks or
unlock the
receiver
without it.
