Lost password LG TV

Hi,
LG TV 32LN577S bought yesterday: password not working, neither 1234, nor 0000, nor 1111, nor 222, nor..., nor 0325, reset code: a message appeared saying "check p.w."
I tested a procedure saying to press Mute 3 times and enter the code 129472. Indeed, if you are on the home screen, pressing Mute 3 times brings up a message offering to reset: there's no option to enter that infamous code.
But if you have opened the window asking to enter the password, the 4 boxes with the first one red, without typing any number, press Mute 3 times now.
And then, like magic, 6 boxes appear and you can enter the code 129472 and confirm with OK.
And it works!!! You are asked to enter a new code and confirm it.
Thanks LG for such a headache! A real mess!
I will take the liberty of calling them to ask them about the why and how;

Hello everyone
I had the same forgotten password issue, I pressed the MUTE button three times, a window opens, and you need to enter the code 129472, another window opens asking you to enter a new password and then it asks you to confirm the new password and that's it.
My TV is an LG 42LM640S-ZA
A big thank you to ALTIVO
See you!

YOU NEED TO PRESS MUTE 3 TIMES, ONCE ENTERING THE 4-DIGIT PASSWORD REQUESTED, AND NOT ON THE TV'S HOMEPAGE. A WINDOW WITH 6 BOXES WILL OPEN. THEN YOU NEED TO ENTER THE CODE 129472.
OTHERWISE, THERE'S NO OTHER SOLUTION. YOU WILL HAVE TO CALL LG.

Hi,

"mute" means to cut the sound, not to "pause", that might be your problem.

Otherwise, take a good look at the manual, smart TVs operate on software like Android or its derivatives, just like on any tablet there should be a "reset" button that restores the default settings. Generally, it's a very small hole into which you slide a pin or the end of a paperclip!

See you!

A big thank you for this info. As you said, it already exists, but when I typed the search, I came across yours, and the explanations are great. Thanks to those who comment.
