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

    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.

    how can I remove the restriction passcode without having to reset device

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

  • 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

  • Resetting the restrictions passcode

    Is there any way to reset the restrictions passcode without resetting the entire device?

    You will get the restrictions passcode back if you restore to your backup - as you say that the backup was made when the restrictions code was in place it therefore contains it.
    To reset back to factory defaults, connect the iPad to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the 'Restore' button

  • How do you elimanate the restriction Passcode on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?

    How do you eliminate the "Restriction Passcode" on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?
    I have done a backup and I have done a Restore and I still have the Restriction Passcode On.
    My main objective is to wipe out this phone to manufactures specifications.

    I had the same problem with my iPhone 5C. After trying several YouTube solutions involving CopyBot, which did not work, I finally figured out how to get rid of the restrictions passcode.
    1. Back up your phone to icloud. You will want to be sure you have synced your phone to your laptop as well to access your contacts and photos again.
    2. Make sure you have "Find my Phone" activated on your phone.
    3. On a laptop or other device, go to www.icloud.com/#find.
    4. Login and after the site finds your phone's location, click on the "All Devices" arrow and select your phone.
    5. Select Erase iphone. You will see it erasing on your phone. Don't panic!
    6. When your phone restarts, it will take you through the setup process. YOU WANT TO SET IT UP AS A NEW PHONE! If you restore a backup you will still have the passcode in play.
    7. During the set up, your phone should automatically restore your contacts; however, you may need to upload your photos and music manually.
    8. The restrictions passcode will no longer be on your phone! You will need to download your purchased apps again. This is a bummer, but at least you got past the restrictions passcode.
    I know this worked for the 5c, I can only assume it will work for all versions of the iphone, but I am not an expert.

  • How do I reset the included calendar on iphone 4s.

    How do I reset the included calendar on iphone 4s.  It currently shows the date as Jan 1, 2513BE, and since it is an "included app" do not know how to delete it and reinstall.

    You can't delete it. If you really don't want to see it, stick it in a folder and then stick the folder on a distant home screen.
    But you might find it easier to just set the clock (date and time) on your iPhone.

    It should be happening automatically, but if it's not, the above described how to do so manually.

    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.

  • I have an iphone 4 and i forgot it's restriction passcode, i can't restore it and also can't update it. is there any other way to reset the restriction passcode?

    i want to reset my iphone to came back to it's factory setting, but it needs restriction passcode and i can not remember it, i can not even restore my iphone to get rid of this problem, is there any other way to turn off restriction passcode?

    The only way to get rid of the restrictions passcode is to restore the device. Why can you not restore the device. The restrictions passcode will not prevent you from restoring, only the regular 4-digit passcode to enter the phone can do that. If that is your problem, then see this support document for instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

  • How r to reset the restriction password

    Gave my niece my iPad and her father put a restriction code on it and doesn't remember it how can I fix this problem?

    You can't reset the restrictions password.
    If not remembered, the only way to remove it is by restoring the iPad as a new iPad or not from the backup. The restrictions password is included with the iPad's backup, so if you restore from the backup the restrictions password will be restored as well.

  • Ipad resetting the restrictions passcode

    I need to reset my passcode in Settings/General/Restrictions on my iPad. Is there any way to do that?

    HI King Penguin!
    I have a problem with my iPad 2
    I have been wanting to switch off my restrictions passcode but I can't do that because I have forgotten the passcode! Now looking at your recent posts to help another person, I can't seem to delete all of my data on my iPad because I have "foolishly" restrict it with the passcode I can't remember. Now is there anyway were I would be able to reset my restrictions passcode in any means possible! All I want is to have my restrictions passcode reset completely, and I don't care if I have delete everything from my iPad in order to accomplish what I want to do!
    I have tried to guess but I have guess incorrectly about 19 times and it's really getting on my nerves, especially if I want to download a a game from the App Store which is age restricted but I am the correct age to have that game!
    Please could you help
    Thank you for your time, Crypt.....

  • How will i retrieve forgotten Restriction passcode for iphone 4

    Help! Been trying to recall my restriction passcode in iphone 4& ipad 2 (ios5) and couldnt retrieve it. Had 15 attempst ans still failed it. Any way i can restore in? Pls. Thanks.

    You'll have to restore the iPhone to its factory default settings. Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, select your iPhone from Devices list, click Restore. Everything on your iPhone will be erased. Anything in iTunes can be synced back over once the restore is done.

  • HT201304 how do you reset the restriction password on an ipod touch

    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.

  • TA38641 how do i know the restriction passcode?

    I want to enable restriciotn in settings, but it is asking for a passcode which i don't know

    If the restrictions was off and you want to enable it. You can put any number you like. (Just don't forget the numbers you are using).
    But you have restrictions on and you want to disable it and you forgot the passcode then you have to restore either from backup using iTunes or as new.

  • Is there a difference between the passcode and the restrictions passcode, in iphone 6?

    After my 8.3 update, the pass code for unlocking my phone is not the same as the "restrictions pass code". I tried to restore my phone and created a new unlock pass code and I still cannot get past the Restrictions Pass code. ugg

    There is something going on here. I'm 100% sure that my restriction code was the same as my unlock too, and after updating to 8.3, I can't get in restrictions.
    Before updating, I had change my passcode for unlocking to the same as the restriction. The iphone haven't said a thing about that but I sure remember that I couldn't put the same passcode when I created the restricion one. Maybe you couldn't put the same unlock code in the restriction code but when you already created the restriction one, and tries to change the unlock code to the same as the restriction, it worked and bugged the restriction when I updated.
