How to Reset Your Roku Pin
Roku gives consumers the option of using a personal identification number (PIN) with four digits to ensure that only authorised users are able to make purchases. In addition to that, it has a parental control function that can be used to prevent specific types of content from being viewed by children. It is not required that you use the Roku PIN, but doing so is recommended if you are not the only person who utilises the Roku device. In this article, we will walk you through the process of resetting the pin on your Roku.

How to Reset Your Roku Pin
Roku makes it simple to change your PIN because, in contrast to the vast majority of other systems that also employ PINs, you do not need to know your previous PIN in order to generate a new one on a Roku device. The ability to get into your Roku account with your username and password is all that is required of you. A password recovery can be carried out in the event that you have also forgotten this information.
1. Launch a web browser and navigate to my.roku.com. If prompted to do so, check in to your account. If you have forgotten your password, select “Forgot password?” from the drop-down menu, and then follow the on-screen steps to have a new password emailed to you.
2. In the area labelled “PIN Preference,” click the Update button.
3. Input and double-check the PIN that you have chosen. Each field is required to have an exact match. It is important to keep in mind that you do not need to recall your previous PIN in order to change it or establish a new one.
4. Make any other adjustments to your PIN settings that you feel are necessary, such as whether or not you want to use the PIN while making purchases and whether or not you want to use it for parental controls.
5. Select the Save Changes option.
