how can i remove a child lock without a remote on a philips DVP721VR?

I currently have a Philips DVP721VR dvd/vhs combo but during a recent move i have lost the remote. How can i remove the child lock without the remote control?,

I managed to find a replacement remote for mine, and although it doesn't have a child lock button noted on it, the one in the middle which looks like it is supposed to change the aspect took off the child lock. This remote is generic to alot of different philips machines, and some of the buttons on it don't do what you expect, but for a tenner it got my DVD player/VCR back up and running, and I can always use the buttons on the front of the machine now at least. I got it off fleabay, though they call it a controller for a DVD721VR.

This is the same product than LG V280.

How do you release the child lock if you do have the remote?
I don't have a manual and I'm going crazy...

You may erase the memory of the machine et reset it.

I don't know precisely how to do that. I had to bring my DVP721VR to a shop to get it fixed and the shopkeeper told me this.
