    Changing passcode on used Xbox 360


    I recently bought a used Xbox 360 console from a pawn shop. Works great except I cannot play online. Found out that parental controls of previous owner were set to block online gaming access.

    If course, the pawn shop does not give me the prev owner number but assures he will try to call. Long story short, he can't reach previous owner, number No good, etc.

    How can I "reset" or change the passcode without original owner's passcode info?

    :)

    I don't believe so, but I will try it. Good thinking.

    Thank you, ArminatorX! However, since this console is used, it is not registered to my name. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to have to try my luck with the understaffed customer support.

    Thanks again for your effort.

    Hey there TheOld76er,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Forums for advice on how to get this passcode circumvented. I can totally see how this could throw anyone off. If you are interested in registering your console so that you can follow the steps provided by @ArminatorX
    ,we have a guide called
    Register (or unregister) your Xbox
    that also applies to the 360 as well.

    When you get the chance, do totally give that a try and you might save yourself an interaction with support directly.

    Hope this helped.

    Thanks for reading!

    Thank you, ! However, since this console is used, it is not registered to my name. ...
    Can't you register the console on your account with the console's serial number?

    Please follow the
    instructions here on how to reset the parental code on a Xbox 360


    Be aware that a few months ago, someone reported that the link to "Manage" is missing. If that is the case, you might have to contact the official support via
    https://support.xbox.com/contact-us

    The problem with contacting support currently however is, that due to the Corona pandemic, the hotline support is understaffed. Also not all options on the contact page will get you to an option where you can talk to an agent, and to make everything even
    more complicated: Depending on the country, different options in the selection give you different results.

    So I can only suggest you try multiple combinations (usually the ones in the Subscription & Billing category are the most promising) until you get a combination that allows you to request a callback from the official support or contact chat support.
