Forgot Purchase PIN on laptop
I have a purchase PIN enabled on my laptop and I don't remember what it is. I've tried resetting Parental Controls, but it doesn't seem to work. I go back into the Purchase PIN and it's still enabled. Now I'm locked out for 60 minutes.

What that article doesn't say is that you must enter the Purchase PIN to change or remove the Purchase PIN.
It pretty much has to work that way, doesn't it?

When I click on Purchase PIN, it shows as already enabled. So, I've tried clicking on Change Purchase PIN. I put in what I think it would be, and I'm told it's wrong. After 5 attempts, I'm locked out for an hour. If I try to go to Parental Controls, they are not on. So, I put a PIN it to turn them on and reset Parental Controls. This does not reset the Purchase PIN. I'm at a loss here as I've tried to do this multiple times.
