Forgot your Kid Space parent PIN?

Last updated 13 November 2026

The fallback code

7294

Type 7294 wherever Kid Space asks for the parent PIN. It unlocks Kid mode when you have forgotten your own PIN, and it lets you choose a new one.

Leave Kid mode without your PIN

  1. On the kid home screen, tap Parents.
  2. On the “Enter parent PIN” screen, type 7294.
  3. Kid mode ends and your own home screen comes back.

If the phone shows the “Time's up!” screen, the steps are the same. After you type the code, tap Leave Kid mode.

Choose a new PIN

Your old PIN is still saved, and you still don't know it. Replace it before the next time you start Kid mode.

  1. Open Kid Space and tap the Settings button at the top of the screen.
  2. Tap Change PIN.
  3. When the app asks for your current PIN, type 7294.
  4. Type four new digits, then type them again to confirm.

If the PIN pad is locked

After five wrong tries the PIN pad locks for 30 seconds. Each wrong try after that doubles the wait, up to 15 minutes. The fallback code does not skip this timer. Wait until the countdown ends, then type 7294.

If 7294 does not work

The fallback code was added in version 1.1 of Kid Space. Version 1.0 does not have it. If the code is refused and the PIN pad is not locked, your copy of the app is probably the older one. Email support@pankobyte.com with your phone model and we will help you get out.

The code is the same on every phone

7294 is built into the app. You cannot change it or switch it off, and anyone who knows it can leave Kid mode, including a child who finds this page.

We accepted that trade because of how Kid Space is built. The app has no internet permission and no account, and your PIN is saved only as a hash on your phone. We cannot see it, email it to you or reset it from our side. Without a fallback code, a forgotten PIN left a parent locked inside Kid mode on their own phone.

Kid Space is meant for younger children on a phone you lend them for a while. If your child has learned the code, treat Kid mode as a boundary they can cross, and stay nearby while they play.
