"Mimamori Switch" is a function that the game by linking the parent's smartphone app and the Nintendo Switch .
While this is a convenient and reassuring feature for parents, there are also many children who would like to enjoy the game without restrictions.
So this time, I will introduce how to cancel the watch setting without telling the guardian !
[Brief explanation] What is the secret trick to canceling the switch monitoring setting?
If you use the Switch's "Mimamori setting", you can only play the game within the time set by the guardian .
However, if you can unlock the settings yourself, you can enjoy the game without restrictions.
From here, we will introduce how to cancel such Mimamori settings without permission .
Is there a way to cancel the switch watch setting without permission?
With the Mimamori Switch app, settings are made using a PIN set by the parent in the app .
So if you know the PIN number decided by the guardian, you should be able to easily cancel the watch setting.
Furthermore, even if you don't know the PIN, there are some tricks to unlock the settings.
Tip 1: Get a PIN with the Mimamori App
The simplest method is to obtain your PIN from the Mimamori Switch app .
The procedure is very simple.
① Open the smartphone app
② Tap "Settings" → "PIN"
③ A 4-digit PIN will be displayed
It's a very simple method, but you may need to be careful because you need to operate the parent's smartphone without permission .
Among them, there are also strong people who guessed many PINs and unlocked them over a long period of time .
This method takes a lot of time unless you can guess a few 4-digit PINs, so you might want to avoid it.
Trick 2: Get the master key
It seems that there is also a way to use the Mimamori Switch function without using the app.
If the Switch itself and the Mimamori app are not linked, you can cancel the Mimamori setting by obtaining a "master key".

"+" button and select Help

This method allows you to change your PIN.
However, Nintendo's official website says that "parents should call" , so please be careful if you are interested.

This method allows you to cancel the Mimamori setting without obtaining your PIN .

② Press the power button and the center of the volume control button (between + and -) at the same time
③ If you do not release the volume control button, the switch will be initialized. Ru
If you use this method, you can cancel the watch setting while the save data of the game remains .
However, since the switch itself is initialized, information other than save data will be reset.
Trick #4: Disassemble the Switch
When the switch body is disassembled, it will automatically enter a state like initialization and the watch setting will be canceled .
Click here for instructions
① Press the power button for 3 seconds to turn off the main unit
② Remove all the screws on the back and sides of the switch
③ Remove the screw on the inside
④ Remove the wire connecting the main pack and power pack
⑤ Remove the wire Wait for a few seconds and connect again ⑥Return
all the screws and start the main unit
It seems that you can cancel the watch setting by this method, but in addition to the need for tools, disassembling the main unit may lead to damage or malfunction.
It 's also not covered under warranty, so it's a pretty big risk .
Trick 5: Change the time zone
The time zone is the setting of the time frame according to the region such as "Japan" or "America" in the time setting of the switch body.
Click here for instructions
① Open "Settings" → "Date and Time" from the main menu (you need to enter your PIN here)
② Select "Time Zone" and change the display from Tokyo to another area
A 4-digit PIN is also required to change the time zone, so some people may wonder if it's the same as the trick #1 introduced earlier.
However, if you change the time zone, you can return the game usage time to the full time limit .
You don't have to worry about sending notifications to your smartphone app because you don't cancel the Mimamori setting itself!
Parents can't find out the secret trick to canceling the Switch Watch Setting?
Even if you can use the methods introduced above, it doesn't make sense if your parents find out.
The method of obtaining the PIN is the simplest, but it is necessary to spy on the parent's smartphone, so there is a risk of being found out at that time.
Even if you can do it several times without getting caught, if you repeat it a few times, your parents will get suspicious and find out .
Also, the method of issuing a master key is very likely to be found out because parents have to call.
Also, even if you can initialize or disassemble the Switch by yourself, there is a possibility that the guardian will find out if the data is lost or it breaks down .
Is it possible that the switch is damaged?
If you disassemble the switch by yourself or initialize it repeatedly, it may lead to data loss, malfunction, or damage to parts .
It seems that damage or failure due to personal reasons is not covered by the warranty, so in the worst case, you may have to buy the switch itself again.
Various other unexpected problems may occur, so think carefully when trying tricks, and do so at your own risk.
