You can use these steps.

1. Using your remote, go to your TV’s menu.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. If the password you provided is correct, click the Done link.
2. Press the Enter button on your remote. 
3. The screen closes then another one appears with password spaces filled with stars. So, you have entered the password successfully.
4. Click next on your screen, then press enter.
