    have a ps3 myself, but just asked my nephew and he suggested you have a look here:

    thanks for that but it doesn't really cover what in lookng for im afraid. when i try to sign into xbox live it asks for a passkey to be made up of the handset controls (x,y,LB, LT etc). the parental controls are off on it so i dunno why this is asking for it

    you will need to ring Xbox:

    +353 12420758 or 1 800 509 186

    you will need to be in front of the Xbox and have the abox's 12-digit serial number, they'll need you secret question answer and/or credit card details.

    i was chatting to a mate this morning, he had a similar problem, and there is a sequence of control pad/xbox buttons that will solve your problem, and after xbox verify your the owner they'll do it.
