Information
Parental controls on Nintendo systems allow you to manage what your child can and cannot use on their system. Along with restricting games by rating, you can manage access to account and system settings, Internet and wireless features, software and data transfer features, and more.
Setting up parental controls is easy, and is restricted by a PIN which you can enter to make changes to the settings at any time. If your PIN is ever forgotten, you can check it with the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls smart device app, or easily reset it with our online Parental Control PIN Reset tool.
The links below provide detailed parental controls management and setup information as well as links to the self-service PIN reset tool.
