After restoring my phone as New, how do I get my contacts and data back without the restrictions password

I forgot my restrictions password so I restored my Iphone as a New phone.  Now, how do I get the contacts, apps and other data back on the Iphone? Can I restore my contacts & data without it also requiring a restrictions password again?

Thanks for replying.  I had to do this process in order to get ICloud activated so I don't have it there.  I do have an external backup of the Itunes library, but it sounds like that would also restore the restriction password that I don't know.
Why would ICloud be different (if I had backed up there?) Does it only save data?
And It sounds like I need to keep my contacts in another source .... such as? ...  No, I don't use email much and my contacts arec the phone numbers I've captured in my phone.  After I have them backed up to ICloud, do I also need to make sure they are somewhere else to where I won't run into losing them again?
appreciate your experience and help.

  • Hello...i have lost my all my data because i restored my phone, how can i get all contacts and photos back?

    Hello, I have lost all my data from iphone as i restored it, how can i get my old contacts and photos back ?

    Connect to the computer the last backup is on, right click on its name in iTunes, and choose "Restore from backup". If the latest backup is in iCloud make sure you have a WiFi connection, then go to Settings/General/Reset and tap Erase all content and settings. After erasing you will be prompted to restore the iCloud backup.

  • How do i get my information and data back onto my 4s?

    Let me tell you how it happened and see if you can find an answer: I was going to the computer that i use to put music on to load some music on to my 4s. when i opened itunes, it said "set up as new iphone" or "set up from backup". i chose the "from backup" because i had an old 4s, but the speakers wern't working, so i got a new one, but the last backup to restore it from was from a couple of months back. i chose it, and it synced my iphone, but i hadn't done anything yet. when i checked my iphone, all of my contacts, notes, email accounts were gone. im desperate and how do i get this information back on?

  • How do I get my contacts and messages back on a new phone.

    I had to get a new a phone due to water damage.  When I brought it home and synced, I have no contacts or messages.  How do I get them back?

    You typically tell iTunes to sync your contacts to whatever address book you use on your PC or Mac. IF you were syncing your contacts to begin with, they should all still be on your computer.

    You'll have to resync using your own computer. It should restore from your backup.

  • How do I get my contacts and pictures back after getting another Iphone?

    I just got another Iphone4 from apple today as my older one got broken. After I plugged in my Iphone it did the whole back up thing but all of my contacts and my photos have been erased from my Iphone. I'm wondering how I'm able to get them all back. Some of my friends suggested going on fb and adding everyone back but that will take a while as I had another of contacts on my phone including contacts that do not have fb. Please help me out and give me suggestions. Thanks!!!

    - If you backed up the iPod after taking the photos then restoring from backup will recover the photos. To restore from backup see the restoring topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore via iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods...".
    - Otherwise if the photos ore not on the computer or iPod they are gone uless you can get them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • How do I get my photos and music back into new version iTunes from my iPad?

    I have the new version of iTunes (11 0 2 26) for Windows which installed over my old copy. I see none of my music etc even after it claims to have synced and backed up. How do I get my photos and music back into iTunes from my iPad? It syncs OK with calendar and contacts from Outlook and I can force copying of apps and books but why does it not show music and photos in the iTunes library? help please.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    Hello, if you havent tried the doesktop manager option, you can do it from the device aswell... Just make sure you save all your contacts to your SIM.
    you can go into your Security Options (in Options menu) and select wipe handheld.
