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.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

    My phone is locked and I cant remember my password

    You can login to your iCloud account and remove the iPhone for our devices and then restore by the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 or you can do a remote erase from the iCloud account.

  • System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash?

    System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash? All other aspects of System Preferences work.

    just that that is one method, and lacks provision for working boot image and for an emergency - Lion gives a small minimal emergency boot environment but may lack all the utilities you need to use and run, even some drivers that your mac requires for add on PCIe.
    Just grab and look through Help in Carbon Copy and SuperDuper, both excellent and each has their use - together - for cloning.
    And do you have two TM backup sets? ought to consider that also, rotate daily or make a weekly set. Otherwise you are putting all your eggs in the proverbial one basket.

  • I forgot my i cloud apple password and security question and i dont remember the id well how can i activate my device? please i need help

    i forgot my i cloud apple password and security question and i dont remember the id well how can i activate my device? please i need help

    Hello there, Hisham1977.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps to follow if you've forgotten the answer to your security questions:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    If you forgot the answers to your security questions, try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you're not sure you remember the answers. If you're confident that you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password, contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you forgot your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time, you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro

  • I have updated to the new ios 7 and the messaging has changed a bit how can i forward a message

  • My iPhoneis disabled and says to connect to iTunes.  How can I get the phone unlocked?

    My daughter tried to change her code to unlock her phone and the phone locked up and says that her phone is diabled and to connect to iTunes.  Is there any thing to do to unlock fix this problem?

    You will need to connect the phone to iTunes, like the message said.
    The code was tried too many times, and it was locked out for security. This is to prevent stolen phones from being accessed.
    If you cannot get the phone to work after you have synced in iTunes, then I would try restoring the phone as a last resort.
    Hope this helps.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Next try on another computer

  • HT4623 my ipod is stuck with the itunes logo and with the charger on the screen and i cant do anything else? how can i get ride of this?

    I need help my Ipod is stuck and I cant do anything at all. my screen shows the I tunes symbol with an arrow under it then under that is the chanrger. I have tried everything and it does notthing. Can someone please help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
