How do I reset my passcode for restrictions on ipad

Is there any way to reset the 4 number passcode in restrictions without having to return iPad to factory settings and losing everything?

Sorry you can't
Restrictions
If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPhone software from iTunes. See “Updating and Restoring iPhone Software” on page 252.

    how do i reset my passcode for my iphone

    Hello kenburrell
    Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock, it will ask for your current Passcode. Then you will see an option to change the Passcode. If you forgot your Passcode, the only option would be to restore your iPhone and then put the back up back on. When you restore, as long as the backup is not encrypted, it will not load the passcode back.

    On both your devices go to Settings>iCloud, then scroll down and click "Delete Account". You can then sign back in using your updated details.
    Note: "Delete Account" will not delete data from iCloud, it will simply remove the account from your device.

  • How do I reset my passcode for my ipad mini ?

    How do I reset my passcode or bypass it on my new ipad (mini)? I dont want to have to go to the Itunes store and reconfigure. ARe there any alternatives???

    Assuming that you don't have a computer ...
    The only alternative is to remote wipe the iPad using Find My iPhone. If you were not using iCloud, then you have to take it to anywhere where you can use a computer that is running iTunes.
    If you don't have access to a computer
    If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

  • How do I reset my passcode for my iPod. My daughter forgot it.

    Need help unlocking my daughters ipod. She has forgotten her passcode.

    - 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. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.                
    - If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3:

  • Upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?

    upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?

    So now I went back to the screen that orginally asked me for my Apple ID and passort, and instead of entering my Apple ID i entered the email address associated with it and the new password.  It now tells me "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons.  To enable your account, reset your passwort at iforgot.apple.com"
    I have now changed my password twice and it still doesn't work.
    Until I get this resolved my tablet is useless.

  • Help!  Is there any way to undo a passcode for restrictions if I've stupidly forgotten it?

    I need help!  I put a passcode for Restrictions on my son's iPod Touch, and I've forgotten it!  He is unable to get to the App store for updates or to buy anything.  He is so upset with me!  Is there any way to get around this?  We are up to 8 failed attempts, and each time it blocks any more attempts to try for longer and longer time periods.  He has games saved that he'll kill me if he has to start over on, so going back to default is not an option.  Please help!

    If you are up to it see the following. It is complicated but does not required restoring as new.
