Introduction
Maybe you’re like me. You’ve inherited a property/business or television that is actually a hotel model, and the programming is locked. It would be a shame to have to toss a perfectly good TV, right? After a lot of searching, I found that the following worked on various models of Samsung hospitality televisions.
Note: Don’t be a jerk and use these to jack around with hotels’ televisions. This is intended solely to be a resource for IT administrators and AV technicians.

Default passwords for Samsung hospitality TVs

Also, if you need to access the factory menu for a Samsung hospitality TV, you can access it by simultaneously holding the Menu button on both the remote and the TV itself. Once the factory menu appears, you can let go of the button combination. This can be used to disable the managed/hospitality mode.
