Still stuck? Sometimes the app is flaky. It’s like that friend who cancels plans last minute. If the app won’t cooperate, just use the website. Desktops are reliable that way.
But Wait—Does It Actually Work?
Here’s the thing. Turning off parental controls on the account usually does the trick. But if your router is older than your Netflix password, it might need a reboot. Unplug the power, count to ten (sing a song, why not), and plug it back in. This flushes out the old settings.

Test it. Try visiting a site that was blocked before. If it loads, you’re a hero. If it’s still blocked, go back and double-check the toggle. You might have turned off the wrong thing. It happens to the best of us.
One more thing: check every device. Parental controls sometimes stick to specific gadgets like glue. If your kid’s tablet is still behaving like a saint, log into that device’s settings and turn off anything Virgin Media-related. Or just blame the ghost in the machine.
