Somebody did... as a Restrictions Passcode does not set itself.
To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
Restore the Device as New...

OR...
from a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

  • After the last update of OX Aperture ask for a serial number. But i haven´t a serial number! what should i Do? Please help me!

    After the last update of OX Aperture ask for a serial number. But i haven´t a serial number! what should i Do? Please help me!

    If you bought it the Mac App Store it shouldn't be asking for a serial number.
    If you bought from the Apple Site with your web browser disregard these instructions.
    What I would try:
    Move Aperture (the application) from the Applications folder to the Desktop.
    Log into the MAS using the same Apple ID you used to originally purchase Aperture.
    Do a fresh download and install
    If Aperture works now trash the version you moved to the Desktop.
    If not post back

  • After i installed ios7, my ipad ask for paascode that i never set it up with and now is locked. what should i do to unlock it !?

    My ipad after installing ios 7 is locked and asking for passcode that i never gave it to. what should i di to unlock it. Thnx

    Are your sure that the iPad is not asking you to CREATE a passcode. It will do this as part of the iOS 7 upgrade. If the device is truly asking for a passcode and it is now locked take a look at this Apple support page

  • I install the iOS 7 and the ipad asks for a code, I never put it a code

    I install the new ios7, the installation when witohout a problem, but in the gettin started part, the ipad asks for a code, I never put one, so I cannot use the ipad because of that.
    I can not restore it, because it aks me to go to adjust and shut down the find my ipad part, I can not get past the code.

    Here it is how I solve the issue. I downloaded the iOS 6.1.3 of my device and installed via ITunes. Then a message of error appear and the ipad when directly to restore mode. Then I Just restore it and That Was it.
    So I can tell That the Main issue is That iOS 7 does not have the restore mode option.
    You know the one where you press the home button, then the sleep button and release the home button.

  • Update to iOS7 now asks for security code.  I don't have one.

    i just updated my wife's phone to iOS 7.0.4.  It is now asking me for a security code but I don't have one.  How do I turn on my phone?

    During the update to iOS 7.0.4 you are encouraged to create and use a passcode. Are you sure the screen you are seeing is not just asking for you to CREATE a passcode? If so I recommend creating, REMEMBERING and using a passcode to protect the data on your iPhone.
    But there should also be a small "Skip" button that you can tap to avoid creating a passcode.

  • Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

    Help.  I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password.  Now asking for a password and I never set one up.  What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either).  Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password!  Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
    Thanks.

    So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
    Yes...  sorry.
    In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free  >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless  >  Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

  • New iPad asking for passcode but I never set one - how do I unlock a code never set?

    Just got my new iPad yesterday, have no kids or anyone else around who would mess with it while I'm in another room - go to wash the dishes, come back and it's asking me for a passcode to unlock. I had it running all last night - turned off, turn on, sync with macbook pro, blah blah blah, everything is great until tonight. What's going on? How do I unlock it? 

    Is your iPad new in the sense of being brand new or is it the latest generation?
    If you do not have very much on it you could connect it to iTunes on your computer (if you use one) and on the screen that pops up starting with the Summary tab click on the Restore button further down. Be sure to set it up as a new device? You will lose any saved data but at least it will unlock your device. Alternatively, you could could do it through Settings on your ipad. Either way, you my have to redownload your purchased apps again.

  • Any BAPI to release SE without asking for release code? (to set ESSR-KZABN)

    Hi guys,
    I have a requirement such that: Currently,all the BAPIs to relase SE requires the entry of a release code to approve SEs.
    We have some SEs that are not subjected to release strategies, therefore not requiring release code to be entered. But in order for these SEs to generate a Receipt number, the acceptance indicator (ESSR-KZABN) needs to be flagged.
    Is there a standard BAPI that allows releasing of SEs but without prompting the release code field as a mandatory requirement.
    Regards
    Rahul

  • I have had to create a new iTunes account. However, there are updates that were not performed while under the old account. So now when I try to update apps, it's asking for the login of the old account, which I do not have.

    I have had to open a new account, however, there were App updates that did not get installed before I opened the new account. Therefore, when I try to do the updates, it's is asking for the sign-in and password for the old account, which I do not have this information. 

    All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
    Delete these apps and download them with the new Apple ID.

  • I bought my ipad3 in the philppines, after 5months of usage my ipad3 is asking for an update "ios6". I updated it in japan because im working here. After updating i cannot install or update any apps

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
