[iPaintball]

Does anyone know how to remove/bypass the parental controls denying acess to the web browser for the Wii? ANY help will be greatly appreciated, and I mean GREATLY

well i posted in your other thread but i say it again can you give me any details other than they are blocks? are they url based? i have little knowledge of the wii but i got nothing else to do so ill do a little reading (screw english essays). is there a file browser on the wii? if so can it be used to access its operating system files? i realize you probably have no clue what im talking about but any additional info would be helpful

t's not a url based blocker. It's a parental control keeping my from adding a network profile.

Check out the wii-forums at Xbox-Scene. They'll know how.

First have you tried talking to your parents, asking nicely, and telling them why you need to access the internet on the Wii?

If that fails you can try the old fashion way of guessing numbers... simple patterns, meaningful numbers such as addresses or birthdays, or guess at his password recovery question.
There are other simple methods that you could try beyond that, but I'm not going to mention them because I'm not an advocate of getting around parental wishes unless they are completely unreasonable.

and denying free access to the internet is "reasonable"i mean the internet does have some bad things on it (okay maybe alot) but denying access does not stop someone from learning those thing, it only delays them, whether it be from the internet or not. why not just save someone the trouble and grant them access. this is why i hate censorship it is only an obstruction on a road with many alternatives, although you may have to take a few back roads you can still get to where your going however much longer it takes. the internet is chaos but once you find a way to navigate that chaos amazing things can be done (like slowly ordering and stockpiling pieces for a CO2 laser) sorry to be so anal about this but censorship is just one thing i cannot stand

more on topic, in the hour of research i have done, it seems like homebrew code can be executed on the wii, and i have read something about a homebrew browser. if you want the link to install hombrew games and stuff <a href="http://wiinintendo.net/2006/12/05/runni ... /">here</a> it is. found out how to copy discs too but i stay focused on the blocks thing.

alright found something even better it seems like the wii nand flash memory has been dumped, its encrypted ti looks like so i cant edit it (easily) but if you can get a copy of the nand off of a wii that doesnt have parental controls enabled and copied it onto your wii it would bypass parental controls. well this is all assuming parental control data is stored in the nand (i only guessing becuse thats where parental controls are in the psp).

edit - false alarm it involves hardware hacking , and i doubt you have mad soldering skill and a $100 soldering iron

im done for tonight

alright this pass word is a series of numbers correct? or is it a word? and how many characters is it?

[iPaintball]

The PIN is a 4 number code and the bypass Master key is a 5 number code.
I tried the secret question alittle over 20 times, but to no avail.

I think it is stupid too and shows a lack of trust towards their kid, but it is their right and responsibility to raise him they way they feel fit. Who am I to step in and interfere with their parenting techniques. I certainly wouldn't want somebody undermining me if I was a parent.

putting a 4 digit access code on someone's game system is not parenting. if they wanted to sensor what he looks at, tehn they should sit him down and have a talk about why they dont want him to access that material and what the consequences will be if they catch him doing that. undoubtetly he will go ahead and do that stuff anyway, but hey, that is the joy of being an adolescent male. putting the code on the system did not stop him from doing anything; it just slowed him down a little bit and showed him that his parents dont trust him.
