Finding my restriction passcode on ipad mini

I have a ipad mini and I don't know my restrictions passcode is so is there a way to figure it what it is without resetting your ipad mini

Not without some third party app that lets you see the contents of the iPad. You can't find it on the iPad itself anywhere.
An app like these two may work. Then you need to know how to find the file in the directory.

Look at the first few discussions in this Google search for more help in finding the code in the file system.

If you are not successful with any of this, you have to restore the device as new - unless you have a backup that does not include the Passcode in which case you can restore from that backup to remove the Passcode.

How do I change(or find) my restrictions passcode if I forgot it?

Hi, klittle24.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Make sure to import your photos and manually backup your device prior to processing these steps.

Turn off passcode on iPad mini - iOS 7

Last night I downloaded the iOS 7 update and I noticed that on my iPad mini I have to enter in my passcode now on the lock screen. I did not have that before. I seem to can't find a way to turn off the passcode. Can someone tell me how to do that?
Thanks!

How many times can I try for restriction passcode in ipad

HI
I have forgotten restriction passcode and have already tried 12 times. Now it allows me to attempt after every 1 time. Though I have forgotten my password but I have a finite set of passwords. I am sure I will be able to crack after some 15/20 more times. Now do I stand a chance of my IPAD device permanently disabled after a certain no of times. I am ok with trying after every 1 hour as many times as possible but dont want to enter into a scenario where my device is permanantly locked. I dont have an itunes back up also so restoring from itunes is not there. Can I change the time and go on fooling the system?
Regards

If you are talking about Parental Control type of restrictions on the iPad, I believe that to be entirely iOS software level. You have 6 attempts before it locks you out for a minute. It then increases the locked-out time after further failed attempts. Since you have two failed attempts, it should let you have four more without consequence, which, if one goes through, all is well, if not, you will be locked out, before you can do a 7th attempt for 1 minute - to start with.If you fail the 7th time, it will increase the time to 5 minutes.

Forgotten Passcode to Ipad Mini

I forgot the passcode to my iPad mini and I have never synced the ipad to a computer. How can I unlock my iPad? Do I need to take it to the apple store?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Newly created passcode to iPad Mini doesn't work!

I recently upgraded my OS software on my iPad mini like I always do when requested. I created a passcode like it asked me to do. Today it won't work. How do I check to see what passcode I created and to verify if what I typed is what I thought I created? I can't get into my iPad Mini!

Hello MacGymnast,
We've an article that provides the options available to you for restoring access to your iPad.

Forgot restriction password on iPad mini

Unfortunately I have forgot the restriction password on my kind's iPad mini. I have found discussions explaining that I need to reset the device to default factory to solve the issue and reset the pwd.
My kinds have photo and games. I would like to know if the following series might work to recover apps and photos:
1) backup all contents on iCloud
2) reset the device to default factory
3) restore the backup via iCloud
Will it work? Or will action 3) recover the old forgotten pwd?
Is there a way to reset the device (including the restriction pwd) and THEN restore photos and apps?
Thanks! Giusec

Restoring from the backup that was made while the Restriction Code was in place will restore the Restriction Code.
You'll have to copy all data and files to your computer or iCloud, then restore, then copy all files and data back after you copy back all the apps.

HT201304 Saving Setting on Restriction on an Ipad Mini

I have my daughters Ipad mini all set up with the items that I want restricted, I have to dissable restrictions
to download another app, or other restricted item. Then when I re-enable the restictions I have to go through
and re-set all the restriction settings back up. Is there away to set up a profile that you can enable or dissable.
I would like to have no restrictions when I use it, but enable all the settings when I hand the ipad to my daughter
without going through all the settings again!
thanks for you help

Thanks Michael & Demo
I understand I can just turn off just one function at a time, instead of the whole restriction plan.
What I am really looking for is some kind of profile so that wen I use the Ipad I can turn it off and then turn it back on with going through the entire settings in restrictions when I want to let my daughter use it!
Thanks for your help

How can i find out what network my ipad mini is on

I recieved a new ipad mini off my insurance but i dont know what network it is on or if it is unlocked, i would phone the insurance to find out but they are such a pain in the a** and probably wouldnt even know themselves. Thanks in advance

Call Apple. With the serial number and IMEI, they should be able to tell you.
