The original owner can't remember the pin do I phoned Nintendo support for a master reset key number and they said because its pre owned it need to be sent off to them to do it, they'll return it in ten days. I bought it to use it so does anyone know a way round this? Thanks in advance

Step3 - Enter the inquiry key into the field at the bottom of the webpage and click continue. Step4 - You can either choose to call or chat with Nintendo Support. I chose chat myself so I would recommend you do the same. Step5 - The Chat Support agent gave me a master code which I entered into my DS and it reset the parental controls. From GameSpot website I know you said you've already called them but sometimes you get a different agent and they do things in a different way.

Not ideal but better than sending the whole thing off Last edited by Wiggi77; 29th May 2012 9:03am.
