How do I reset my restrictions passcode on my iPod touch 4G?

I've been scouring this support site for 3 days. I have attempted many of the suggestions all to no avail. I need to reset the restrictions passcode on my iPod touch 4G as I have forgotten it. The back up I have on my iTunes is very recent and therefore to reset and restore will give me the same problem. Is there any way to reset the passcode if I don't know it? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. If any answers could avoid directing me to other links contained on this site that would be helpful as I've tried all of the solutions listed. iPod touch 4G iOS 6.1.6

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You have to either:
- 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

How do you reset a forgotten restriction password on an ipod touch

They will be erased from the iPod along with everything else, but since those songs must have originated from a source other than the iPod, they must still exist on the computer you used to sync it.
After you restore the iPod, you just have to sync it with that same computer again.

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

Hey Wheatstock,
It sounds like you might be experiencing issues with the passcode on your iPod touch. If that's the case and maybe you've forgotten the passcode or your device is disabled after inputting an incorrect one, take a look at this article:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If, however, you're talking about Restrictions / Parental Controls, you'd want to take a look here:
If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

lost passcode for ipod touch, how do i retieve it

Unfortunatly, you are going to have to restore you ipod, which means that you will lose you data. If you have songs/videos that are not on your computer's iTunes, then you can use a third party program to do that such as 4Media Ipod to PC Transfer, etc.
To restore the lock code follow these directions:
STEP 1. First you have to open iTunes and then sign in. Using the connector cord you have to plug the iPod touch into the computer.
STEP 2. Now you have to allow iTunes to sync with the iPod touch automatically.
STEP 3. Now you have to hold down both Menu and Power butons for ten seconds. Then you will be able to see a symbol of a disc and a cable on the screen of your iPod touch. It shows that it is in restore mode.
STEP 4. Now you have to release both the buttons. Now you will be able to see a “Restore” button. Simply click on it.
STEP 5. Now you have to wait for sometime until restore process is complete.
STEP 6. From your iTunes backup simply copy your files back onto your iPod touch.
STEP 7. From the screen of your iPod touch simply tap on “Settings”. Now select “General” and then click on “Passcode Lock.”.
Now simply type in your new password code. Using this password code again you can lock your iPod touch. In this way you can reset an iPod touch password code.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how the security feature works
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
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.

Put in the restrictions passcode, and then Disable Restrictions.
Otherwise, you can't. That's the ENTIRE purpose of a passcode lock.
