can I 100% turn off the need for a PIN ?

Our household is just me and my wife; 2 adults. I want to set up FIOS TV so we never need a PIN.

Settings -> Parental Controls is OFF.

But certain things still say a PIN is needed, and that a d*%# "Parental Control PIN" must be created, e.g.

Customer Support ->My Acccount ->View My Bill &
Customer Support ->My Acccount ->View Messages.

Is there any way to created an unrestricted, PIN-free environment ?

Cheers, QE in NJ

You know what, i just realized you want to access sensitive material... You do need to setup a PIN for that... Sorry buddy, totally didn't notice that.

You want a pin. Doesn't have to be complicated if it just you two. You don't have to block anything in parental controls just have a pin. YOU do want to block purchases so you don't make any accidental purchases, Hitting Buttons several times in a row when STB not responding could accidentally do a purchase.

1 2 3 4 is a great pin, it's also the pin to the air shield and my luggage.

I simply use 0000. As someone else mentioned, it prevents accidental ordering.
