Forgot restrictions passcode on iphone

I forgot my restrictions passcode and now I can not download any applications or copy from itunes to my iphone.

From the manual:
Important: If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPhone software from iTunes. See “Updating and Restoring iPhone Software” on page 256."

  • Forgot restrictions passcode iphone 5c

    forgot restrictions passcode iphone 5c neep help

    You will need to try to restore your iPhone (preferably from the same computer that you most recently synced to).
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

    Follow the instructions very carefully.

  • Is it possible to recover restriction passcode on iphone 4s

    is it possible to recover restriction passcode on iphone 4s. Can anyone help

    To restore as a new device, connect your phone to your computer, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Restore.  At the end of the process you will go through the setup process again and will be given the option to restore from backup or set it up as a new iPhone.  Choose to set it up as a new iPhone (see image below).
    Before doing this import your photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts and calendar by syncing them with iCloud (go to Settings>iCloud, set Calendars and Contacts to On).  After restoring your phone as new, sync it with iTunes to restore your apps, music and other iTunes media to your phone.  You will have to set up iMessage and FaceTime again, as well as your email accounts.  You wlll lose your text messages and app data as they are stored in the backup you can't use.

  • What is restriction passcode of iPhone 5?

    Anyone knows the restriction passcode of iPhone 5

    Try 0000
    I never set either passcode but Restrictions required one to get in so I tried a typical passcode that I might have used.  It didn't work so I tried 0000 and it worked.

    How do i restore the restricted passcode in iphone 5

    Hi, SAVREET.
    Thank you for the question.  If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.  Below, I have included the article that walks you through the restore process.

    Make sure to import all media, pictures and personal data to your computer prior to a restore.

  • Forgot Restriction Passcode-Need to Reset iPhone 5

    Have tried resetting from backup but that doesn't eliminate the restriction passcode issue.  Now am trying to reset the phone as a new phone.  However, it's still prompting for the restriction passcode.  Any idea how to get around this?  I did use the iPhone Backup Extractor but that was a bit baffling.

    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.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If none of the above work, then:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. 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.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    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 can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. 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.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Forgot restrictions passcode! HELP!

    I'm trying to reset my phone to factory settings.... But I have no idea what my restrictions passcode is. I'm trying to put my phone into recovery mode. But this popped up on the iTunes when my phone turned back on in recovery mode to iTunes...... - iTunes can't verify the identity of the server "s.mzstatic.com"
    The certificate for this server has expired. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "s.mzstatic.com" , which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway ?
    What does this mean and what do i do about this ? I don't want to keep trying to guess the restrictions passcode.
    Someone please help me !!!!

  • How do I reset the RESTRICTIONS Passcode on iPhone 4s

    My teenager got to this before I did!
    How do I reset the Restrictions Passcode on his iPhone?
    Will this even work to restrict web content?
    I could swear that I remember being able to do this via iTunes when the phone was plugged in, but that functionality doesnt seem to be there.
    I see that I can restrict adult material (songs, R movies and etc) on all phones on the account via iTunes, but I dont see how to customize every individual phone on the account with different restrictions...
    Help...
    thank you

    Is it not possible to have a reminder sent to the account holder (ie:me) to reset, like when a passord for anything thing else is forgotton?    Just dread wiping the whole thing and re-setting up...... 
    Also, do you know if it controls web access?  I seem to remember and itunes content and volume control on the last parental control I used on an iphone, but that was atleast a year ago on a 3GS.
    Thx again

  • Restrictions passcode on iphone 4 changed by IOS 7.0.2?

    I have set a restrictions passcode to both of my daughter's iphones restricting features and functions, one of them being the inability to change account features (like find my iphone - more on that in a moment).
    In trying to disable the restrictions temporarily to install some apps, I have discovered that the passcode is no longer the one that I entered and have been locked out of making these changes. The same restrictions passcode does work on my other daughter's iphone. I have tried over a dozen of different lock codes, working around the failed attempt feature by changing the date and time on the device each time, none of them work.
    I am guessing that somehow the recent upgrade to ios 7 and then 7.0.2 may have been responsible as the phone lock code changed on 3 of my other ios devices one morning without any rhyme or reason shortly after the first ios 7 upgrade. This is another matter that resolved itself after a few hours. weird thing is that it was the same passcode that is giving me trouble on this device now.
    In an attempt to restore the problem phone from a recent backup (dated 9/2013 and preceeding the ios upgrade bs) I was asked to disable the find my iphone feature before it will let me restore from this backup. Unfortunately, since I have set this as a feature on her phone that cannot change without first entering the restrictions passcode I cannot disable this feature at all.
    What the heck???
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your prompt reply diesel vdub.
    Maybe I wasn't clear that I did not actually forget my passcode although I can understand this being the kneejerk response as this seems to be a popular topic on the forums.
    The passcode literally changed to something else.
    Since it is a passcode that I use on my other ios devices and I'm the only one authorized to change it, it is my presumption that some other event occurred and all fingers point to the recent ios 7 upgrades especially given the information shared with me by several of my colleagues that the ios 7 upgrade rebooted their devices with a lock code that never existed prior to the upgrade. I should point out that each person is very competent technically.
    This is a bug perhaps that will be addressed witn ios 7.0.3??
