I have forgotten my PASSCODE(4 numbers) for the Vizio VP50HD model TV. The owners manual only says that if you forget, you're just out of luck. There must be a way to RESET this passcode so that certain channels can be retrieved or changes to the permissions can be updated.
What's annoying is that when Mediacom cable 'updates/changes' their channel lineup, previously 'blocked' channels may now be channels that you DO want to watch, yet they are stilled blocked.
ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO RESET THE PASSCODE?

Also, the regular channels then go 'staticky' then as well.
I have noticed that this, most of the time, only applies to THIS unit, not the other TVs throughout the house(another Vizio VP20HD included).
I have tried...
