PIN protected card problem

IrishHomer

Hi,

Can anyone help please.

I have a 2nd hand Sky FTV card and its pin protected for Movies.

As the card is 2nd hand i cannot unlock the pin and the pin is definitely not unlocking with the last 4 digits on the card.

Any tips (without having to call sky ) greatly appreciated.

Leave it in the freezer overnight then place it in a microwave oven on "defrost" for 30 seconds. Connect a 12v car battery charger to the gold contacts then immerse it in isopropyl alcohol for a day. I hope you didn't expect a serious answer. Of course a 9 year old child will unlock it in under a minute, as I discovered when I locked my Sky Digibox. So there's your answer. Just hand it to a 9 year old with instructions not to unlock it. The job will be done before you can make a cup of tea.

Well your actually wrong as my kids are not able to unlock it.

Thanks for your constructive advice much appreciated.

Bar ringing Sky, there isn't much you can do, apart from trying different combinations at random... (not ideal by any stretch).
