nah i know my pin number it's 1234 but tonight trying to watch private ryan, it asks for my pin number due to the adult contect(as it usually does) and i input my pin and and it gives me three attempts then locks for 15 minutes, we don't have kids and my wife says it's not her who's changed it--thing is if i ring the helpline, with us paying for the £20 package, won't vm wonder why i'm trying to watch a sky movie when i'm not subscribed to it?

and use the net fun id and pin files -jtag etc etc

hi yeh
it was modified by a guy, i believe he did something to the box and card to give me all the channels, it was done around three weeks ago and i've not had a problem but this evening we tried to watch a film and on inputting the pin number it told us it was the wrong pin, gave us three attempts and locked us out for 15 mins-if i go to the technical bit in the guide it says pin active-we've been using 1234 since we had the box done and it defo hasn't been changed my any of us--any ideas?

if your in a pure ntl area you can just short the battery and the net id will set itself then you can go into the engineers menu and set a new pin.
If its not pure ntl, excw, ex tw youll have to do the funcard way
funcard netid tutorial

if its a subbed box (rental-box) he may not have cut tb and the cable co know what you have been watching and changed it, perhaps they may pay you a visit in the new year?
