Press the "Menu" button on the remote control and use the arrow buttons to scroll down to the "Parental Guide" option, then press the "Enter" button. Type in the default parental code "6688" if you have not set your own code. If you have set your own code, type it in. If you set your own code and forgot it, override it by using "6688." Use the arrow keys to switch the parental lock to "OFF." This allows all programs to be viewed no matter the rating. Press the "Exit" button on the remote and start watching all your channels
If you have the original Apex remote supplied with the TV, press and hold the FUNCTION key in the top left corner of the remote, and then press MUTE while still holding this down.
This method works for many Apex Digital TVs, including AT1302, AT2002, AT2402, AT2702 - plus most other models which have the FUNCTION key.
If you have any other remote, then the method for switching it off will be a combination of 2 keys - one of which - will probably (although not guaranteed) to be mute. The correct key combination will be different on almost every remote, so it's simply trial and error to find it. It's also advisable to switch off all other devices before trying random key combinations!
If you don't have the original remote or any remote you can use with the TV, unlocking it may not be possible.
If you need further assistance, please let me know the brand and model number of the remote you are using to operate the TV - if any.
Answer:According to Apex, you can disable the parental lock using the following information.
If you have a blank screen with a red key on the bottom left, simply press the (function or F) button and the mute button at the same time. This will unlock the screen and allow you to view the channel as desired.
If your TV asks for a 4-digit code or password please enter 3308 or 6688 to unlock the screen or reset any preset rating levels.
If you have a GT2011J or GT2011S Television, hold the (Display) button for 10 seconds, it will unlock the screen. If password or code is requested, try 3308 or 6688.
One of the above methods should get you past the lock. If so, I would take the opportunity to disable the lock in the TV's menu so this doesn't happen again.
If this still doesn't work, you can call Apex Customer Support at (800)880-1227.
