Disney Circle Passcode Reset

Is there a way to reset the circle passcode?  I'm talking about the 4 digit passcode that's required when you initially install the app.  My son installed the app on his phone and grabbed the passcode from our phone and now can control Circle as well.  The passcode is under Manage, but there's no option to reset it.    

  • Hi akomaha04,

     

    Please try the following steps:

    1. Uninstall the Circle App on your kid’s phone
    2. Reinstall Circle on your device
    3. Select the option "I’m the only Circle Admin" and a new passcode should be sent on your mobile via SMS
    4. Change the security on your phone and setup pin lock to ensure that your kid won’t acquire the code again

        I have the same problem. But I never receive a text with a new passcode. I need to reset my phone number I guess?
