Why do we have to change PIN in Samsung SMART TV?

A PIN is a numeric password that is shared between viewer and Samsung Smart TV. The viewer is required to provide a four digit confidential PIN to gain access to the Smart TV.

Changing or setting a pin helps you create child lock so that you can stop or limit access to the TV. It is also used to create Channel Lock to prevent unwanted access to the channels.

The default code is four zeros (0000). You need to enter the default pin number or the code you have set when you are resetting your Samsung TV or at the time of software update.
