Forgot restrictions pass code, how can I recover?

I need to reset my iPad and then restore from an earlier iCloud backup. I have restrictions set to on but cannot setting a restrictions passcode. I don't know how to find it.

Remove restriction passcode
1. Restore to Factory Default

2. You can restore from a backup that was done before you enable the Restriction Code.

  • HT1414 forgot restrictions pass code, how do you reset?

    I forgot the restrictions pass code for my sons iTouch.  I tried using the restore function like it said in some help discussions, but that did not work.  ( hooked up to the computer, did restore to factory settings, then uploaded the apps again to his iTouch).  No change when I go the restrictions tab under general settings.  It still asks for the pass ode which of course I can't remember.......
    Thanks!

    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - If you are up to it see:

  • HT201303 I forgot a security answer, how can I recover?

    I forgot my security answer how can I recover?

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).

  • HT201304 I forgot my restriction pass code , how do I retrieve it or change it?

    I have forgotten my restrictions pass code.  How do I retrieve my pass code or how can I change it.  Thanks

    There is no way to retrieve it. You have to restore to factory settings.
    Restoring from a backup will simply restore the restrictions passcode that you cannot remember - unless in the unlikely event that you have a backup that predates the restrictions passcode, then you could restore from that backup.

  • HT1414 I have forgot my restriction pass code and can't delete apps to enable me to update software

    I can't update to iOS 7 as need to delete data but have forgot my restrictions pass code so it won't work ....help

    If you have a backup that was created before you entered the passcode you can restore from that backup to remove it from the iPad. If not, you have to restore the iPad as new in order to remove the passcode.
    You may have some success finding the passcode with a third party app like this.

  • HT4061 If I forget my pass code how can I use my iPad

    I have a pass code on my iPad mini and I have forgotten it how can I fix this

    Did you read the link Diavonex posted?
    The only way to get into a passcode protected device is to restore it.
    Follow the instructions there even if your iPad is not disabled yet. The procedure is the same.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    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.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • HT1212 my power button is broken and i forgot my pass code how do i reset my phone

    My power button on my iphone is broken. I also forgot my screen lock paswsword. How do I reboot my phone?

    Unfortunately, you don't. You would have to put it into recovery mode to restore it and you can't do that without a working power button.
