This allows resetting Parental Controls (due to being locked out) without having to contact customer support.
May 02, 2016 This video is old and outdated, please watch the new video here: -LINKS- New video, with master key generator. The e-mail will contain your master key. Enter it on your system to unlock parental controls. Once unlocked, select Change PIN to set up a new PIN. If you do not receive an e-mail, or you cannot access your e-meail, please select Cancel on the Enter master key screen. Return to the top of this document and select No, or Not Sure.
If you would just like to use this, with no concern for the code or how it works, visit: https://mkey.salthax.org/
This tool will provide you with the master key to reset your parental controls. The master key is tied to today's date and will expire tomorrow. A $0.50 fee is charged for this service to ensure it is used by an adult. This also provides documentation of the change. If you need a Parental Controls master key for Nintendo Switch and have a Nintendo Account linked to your console, you can request a master key on this self-service page. If you need a Parental Controls master key for Nintendo Switch and don't have a Nintendo Account, please contact us.
v2 support was initially implemented in October 2015, and has been serving the above page since December 2015. v1 and Wii U support was added in January 2016. v0 support was added in April 2016. v3/Switch support was added in July 2017. v4 support was added in April 2019.
Python and C implementations are available in this repository. These function very similarly.
As of writing, system support is good - all algorithms in use are supported, provided one can extract the necessary keys from the system firmware.
For some algorithm versions (especially 3DS v2) many keys are required from the system firmware in order to generate master keys. These can differ between regions and system versions. The best documentation for these is in the code, which covers the situation on all supported devices.
The v4 algorithm on the Switch and likely any future algorithms also require a console-unique device ID stored on the system that Nintendo can retrieve using the separate, visible serial number one must provide via the support call. The security in this relies upon the device ID being hard to obtain by simply using the device. This would make the generator more of an academic exercise rather than a practical tool.
