Comment:

 As I read the code, and as I understand it, this is behaving as designed.
 Because you (or the downstream user) have Level 4 as the starting parental
 level, an aborted PIN defaults to that level (as the setting defines the
 maximum "safe" level)  If the user wishes to limit their kids to only
 viewing level 1, they should set the starting value to Level 1.  In
 testing, doing so limits the user to level one videos.  Moving up to Level
 two, the user is prompted for a PIN (to allow a jump straight to level 3,
 or 4) but an abort sets the parental level to level two, and so on.

 If any of this needs further explaining, you know where to find me.  :)
