I installed SOF on my new build and i accidently set a parental control pw. I didn't realize i set one and i don't know what it is. When i realized i had done this i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but it said that the parental lock would still be the same. Any ideas on how i can fix this? Thanks for any help.

You are not able to hack the password unless you know it. As far as I know.

My guess is some kid has already created a program to bypass the parental lock, but I cannot say for sure. Search for that first.
Otherwise, my guess is to search the registry for altered keys when you install the game. Then, when you uninstall, remove all the keys it might have left behind. That is only a guess, I do not know where they would store the parental lock codes. It is sort of like those shareware things that last even after you delete the crappy program.
Respectfully,

If that parental lock acts like spyware would a program to get rid of spyware work on it ?
I can only come up with the obvious advice : Format and reinstall your OS.
When you install SOF again pay attention.
Oh, the game must have a website of it's own. Did you check there to see if anyone else had the problem and found a solution?

I went to the SOF2 website and found this letter. I think you might be stuck A_Bails.
