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.

Ipad mini is asking for passcode but none was ever set

My iPad is asking for a passcode but there has never been a passcode set. Why is it even asking. It won't let me do anything, and after three tries has locked it up.
Help
Fransen

Unforunately someone has set up a passcode who had physical access to the device

You're going to lose your data unforuantly unless you restore from a backup.

Airport asks for password when none is set

I have experienced this problem with two different network setups. #1: A friend setup a wireless network with a Belkin G+ router. No password or security was set. Yet when his powerbook tried to join the network (which was easily detected), he was asked for a password and he could not get past that point, even if he left it blank.
#2:Then my own system, a netgear router, again no password or security set, was working OK when I added a d-Link range extender. I programmd it and detected the repeater with my powerbook, but when I tried to connect to the repeater I was asked for a password and I could not connect and I had to remove the extender to re-establish my network.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Getting rid of MacJanitor wouldn't solve the problem. Any software that is installed to run maintenance scripts will require authentication for the installation. If it doesn't then I wouldn't install it.
I can recommend some better alternatives to MacJanitor:
Macaroni
Anacron
PseudoAnacron
All three automate the process by running the scripts even if the computer was turned off at the normal time the scripts are set to run. You can find them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Computer Asks For Password When None Was Set !

I have just helped my neighbour download MacJanitor.
We opened it and it asked as usual for the password. As he has never (knowingly) made up a password we left the box blank and clicked "Continue" only to be confronted with a message telling us the wrong password had been entered. (A couple of years ago when I didn't have a password, leaving a request box empty always worked for me).
He said something about this type of thing having occurred before!
Any idea what is going on and what he can do about it?
His equipment specs - G5 17" iMac, OSX 10.4.0 , Superdrive - everything bog-standard.
Ian.

Asking for passcode when trying to change restrictions on iphone 3gs

In response to a person on here for deleting a gmail account from an iphone 3GS
I can not enter the passcode for restrictions?
Can anyone assist?

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

Audio alert for email when non set

I have noticed that since the update to iOS 5.0.1, some incomng emails trigger an audio alert when they are received, but I don't have audio alerts set for email.
The alert tone is tri-tone, which I don't even have set for any type of alert..! It's becoming frustrating as I can't work out how or where the alert is being set..
I originally thought that it may be emails sent from Apple (support, store, etc) but that appears not to be the case as random other senders, also trigger the audio alert, so there is no obvious pattern.
Is anyone else experiencing this type of issue?

Think I've found the problem, I've recently installed the Gmail app and added it to Notification Centre. It was set to provide an audio alert only. Turning this option off seems to have resolved this.
Strange that you can't define the alert tone for Notification Centre apps, otherwise I may have found this sooner

IPad lock up. Asks for passcode.

Had the same problem when updating to 7. Finally got lucky. When it asked for your passcode it is your Apple ID password by default for some reason. No Problems now!

Mike,
did have passcode prior to update, but disabled it. after update only numeric keyboard appears and asks for passcode,
When i entered old passcode, tells me phone is disabled for 1 hr, try again!!

How can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

how can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

I have had the same problem with iPad recently not too sure why it happened but if you are completing a full reset anyway the easiest way is the restore via itunes on your computer and then set up a new passcode again. Resetting via itunes doesnt require a passcode so it should go straight through.
Hope this helps

Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password. Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal. When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Enter. When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account. Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save. Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
And you have a new password for your account.

Tryng to set up Aple ID on wifes iph 6, she's forgotten her password. At iforgot I type in her gmail ID and ask for email but none comes ?

trying to set up Apple ID on wife's new iphone 6, she's forgotten her password. At "iforgot.apple.com" I type in her gmail ID and ask for email but none comes ?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

IPhone defaulting back to home screen, freezing and in a loop of rebooting/asking for passcode

iPhone 4, just over a month old, about 2 weeks into use has been playing up since.... I'm certain the problem is the same, but it manifests in different ways, usually daily. If unused for a period (as in an hour or two), the iPhone (when pressing the home button) goes to the black reboot screen, then asks for passcode, back to reboot, passcode and into an interminable loop.
Attempting to launch applications, or the internet, will just revert back to the home screen (as if the home button is pressed), or often, the home button will not work at all.
The onyl way of rectifying this is to shut off or - as this is sometimes not possible - screen and all buttons unresponsive - rebooting (holding home button & one of button)
I'm hoping it's a simple case of reinstalling something, or perhaps reverting to factory settings, but wonder if anyone else has experienced anything similar.
