In-apps restrictions passcode

I forgot my in-apps purchase restrictions passcode....can anyone suggest how to retrieve it?

To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
You will not be able to perform a backup as this would include the Restrictions passcode... which is what you have to remove...

    Sorry for asking but I forgot my restriction code and I don't know how to find it. Can you help me.

    To remove a forgotten Restrictions passcode you will need to either...

    I have forgotten my restrictions passcode and i dont want to lose any media on my iphone, or any apps, i am scared to back up my media for restore in future as these photos and videos mean a great deal to me, is there any way i could get around it? Thankyou if you can help; oh and last time i restored my iphone it didnt restore ALL the media only some and very improtant photos went missing :(

    All media and apps on the device should already be in iTunes on the computer.
    If you have forgotten the restrictions passcode, the ONLY option is to restore as new.
    Then sync back any media, apps, contacts, etc back to the device.
    You can not restore from backup as the restrictions passcode is included in the backup.

  • I don't know my restrictions passcode, and i can't delete any of my apps. Suggestions please?

    Hi, I'm having trouble with my apps, I can move them around but I can't delete them! I can't remember my restrictions passcode which means I can't change the settings so that I can delete my apps that I don't want anymore. Any suggestions how I can find out my restriction code would be greatly appreciated.Thanks a mill

  • I know exactly what my restrictions passcode is meant to be (I have even written it down) but it has strangely changed itself. I cannot delete apps anymore.

    I know exactly what my restrictions passcode is meant to be (I have even written it down) but it has strangely changed itself. I cannot delete apps anymore and it has been getting on my nerves. I am worried that I will lose my purchased films and books and my pages documents if I perform a factory restore. What do I do?

  • I have a restriction passcode that I have no idea what the passcode could be. I know that I need to reset the phone to factory settings but how do go about doing this without losing all of my contacts and other info, etc? (mainly contacts)

         At some point, I don't even remember doing this it must have been so long ago, I set a restrictions passcode on my phone. This has become a problem now because I have so many apps that I do not ever use that take up so much space I can no longer take pictures or put more music on the device. I have read that I need to restore to factory settings but that once I do that I cannot restore to a backup because restrictions passcodes are saved in backups. Is there any way for me to restore my phone to factory settings and then get all of my contacts and perhaps as much other data back as I can? I have tried every passcode I can think of for the restrictions passcode (24 times! to the point that ever time I try and fail I cannot try again for an hour. To say the least, this is quite frustrating as is limits what i can do with my phone on a daily basis, whether it be music or taking pictures and videos etc. Can someone please help me solve this problem without losing minimal data? I have already backed the phone up to my computer as well as iCloud. Even the woman at the apple store told me I had to restore it to factory but was too busy to get further into it and I didn't have a genius bar appointment. If all else fails I can make an appointment and go in there. I just thought I may as well ask on here first to see if there was a way I could do it myself. Thanks for reading and hope you can help me!

    You can't. Restoring new means everything is erased. If you have a backup made before creating a restriction code, then you can restore that backup, but none later.
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • How do I reset an iPad 2 to factory defaults when I can't recall the Restriction passcode?

    I have tried all of the suggested reset methods and still cannot reset to factory defaults. Somehow I setup a restrictions passcode that I can't find or remember so I seem to bee stuck.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

  • Why does my iPod not recognise my passcode on restrictions passcode page

    The passcode for my iPod is no longer recognised when I try to open the restrictions page in the Settings app. How can one device have 2 passcodes ? Do I have to wipe the device and start again ? How do I know it will not happen again /

    There is the normal Lock Screen passcode and there is a Restrictions passcode. They are each different. We don't know your passcode nor does Apple. If you forget the passcode:

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • Restriction passcode

    i can't remember my restriction passcode and need to get App Store back on my phone. How many attempts will I get at passcode and what will happen when I reach the maximum?

    Here read this Apple tech note on the subject:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Sadly, you will have to wipe the iPad clean.... Back to it factory settings, losing everything.

  • Restriction passcode that was never set, IOS 7.0.6 Latest update

    Well this is certainly frustrating.  I recently updated IOS to 7.0.6 on my iphone 4g.  First I noticed my screen was locked to vertical.
    When I went to change this I came along my restrictions, and noticed a restriction passcode was set.  I never had this locked, I have tried every set of  numbers I usually set to ...sadly with no results and longer wait time. 
    I searched the forums and got discouraged.  Reset to factory settings or to latest back-up.  Latest back-up would be great, if you didn't back it up when passcode restriction was on, which then means you have to do a factory reset.
    From now on I am going to configure my new iphone device with calendars, contacts, & notes with a more reliable source, like my laptop or computer.  Completely tired of these issues of having my information for ransom, with the possibility of it being lost for good.
    To solve my problem, my idea is to look around the forums on how to transer all my contacts, notes, and calendars to a different platform other than iphone.
    Any help on this would be great. 
    I  have a MacBook Pro, ipad air, and the last MacPro tower.  I thought I was ingenious when I set all my contacts, notes, and calendars across all devices under same Apple ID.  (mail, account, and other stuff was under device apple id, I just kept the same ID as phone for 3 mentioned above).
    It was a good idea in theory, but there is something buggy with the contacts, and now this restrictions passcodes.  I will remember in the future for any ipad, or iphone to have it synched with an account that is reliable, especially for these apps.
    I'm due for a new iphone, wondering if that will quick fix the first problem, not sure if my solution above is even a reasonable solution.  So any help would be great.

    The Restrictions passcode is included with the iPhone's backup so if you don't know the restrictions passcode, you must restore your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

  • I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode. And i can't restore because my "find my ipod" is on. But i also can't do anything because i don't have an icloud for this device. What can i do?!!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Is it possible to recover restriction passcode on iphone 4s

    is it possible to recover restriction passcode on iphone 4s. Can anyone help

    To restore as a new device, connect your phone to your computer, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Restore.  At the end of the process you will go through the setup process again and will be given the option to restore from backup or set it up as a new iPhone.  Choose to set it up as a new iPhone (see image below).
    Before doing this import your photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts and calendar by syncing them with iCloud (go to Settings>iCloud, set Calendars and Contacts to On).  After restoring your phone as new, sync it with iTunes to restore your apps, music and other iTunes media to your phone.  You will have to set up iMessage and FaceTime again, as well as your email accounts.  You wlll lose your text messages and app data as they are stored in the backup you can't use.

  • HT1430 How can I reset my forgotten restrictions passcode?

    How can I reset my forgotten restrictions passcode?

    You need to restore the iPad as a new device and not restore the backup, if the backup contains the restrictions passcode. If the a kip does not contain the passcode, you can restore it after you restore to factory settings.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    There are also third party apps that claim to be able to recover your passcode for you. If you want to look at any of those just do a Google search "forgot iPad restrictions passcode".

  • Forgot the Restrictions Passcode. How to reset?

    I wanted to set restrictions on my iPod Touch, but discovered that I had set a Restrictions Passcode at some point and have now forgotten it. How do I reset the passcode? I have tried restoring my iPod, but that also restores the settings that included the previous passcode.
    Whatever the solution entails, I ultimately would like to restore my apps and music to the iPod. If I need to manually enter the settings again, that's fine. Any ideas how to pull this off? Am I going to have to connect it to another computer that it hasn't synced with and wipe clean? If so, how to I re-sync it to my previous machine and get my apps and songs back on?

    "If you forget your passcode, you must restore your iPod touch software from iTunes.
    See “Updating and Restoring iPod touch Software” on page 158. "
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
    You can restore as new if necessary.
