Below, we have compiled simple steps for creating, resetting, and deleting Roku PIN.

Create PIN

You can create a PIN for your profile from the Roku website. While creating a PIN, you will need to set your preferences to control your channel purchases. But you must note that it will be applicable only when you buy or add from a Roku channel Store or device.
