what is my airplay code for apple tv

If you forget the AirPlay password you can reset it by changing the AirPlay security type from Password to Passcode (or none if applicable) and back again.

There are two types of protection for AirPlay.

The first is an on-screen passcode, in which the Apple TV will display a four number password on screen, which you must enter into your mobile device before AirPlay can be enabled. This is typically to ensure that users are in the room where the TV is, before enabling AirPlay. This typically protects against intentionally disruptive behaviour from someone somewhere else while someone is trying to use AirPlay.

The second is a hidden password which needs to be remembered by all users who will have access to AirPlay unless you share this password with others. This method doesn’t lend itself well to use by guests unless you tell them your password but it does mean that accidental attempts from others don’t disturb you.

You may not have one! Just leave the password space blank and click OK. This worked for me.
