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.

    You need to restore it with iTunes or wipe it from the phone itself... Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.  Either of these will create a factory fresh phone, thus removing the restrictions.  Note that ALL user data will be wiped.

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
    1)  Restore the Device as New...
    See Sections 5 and 6 here...

    OR...
    2)  From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

    How can I create a Mavericks usb for a fresh install without knowing the admin password. (lost password)

    You dont need to have the installer on a USB stick!
    I would agree with you if there was always an Internet connection available and the the Apple Servers were always in operation.  In those instances when this is not the case, a USB installation drive is good to have.  I speak from experience.

  • Dont know the admin password, cant get into single user mode

    I have recently bought a PowerMac G4 with a dual core 1.25GhZ processor on a car boot. I do not know the admin password, and i cant get in to single user mode. What to do?! Seems like it has Open Firmware Password Protection, what ever that is, and i have the discs and tried disabling it, but to do that you need the admin password. It's and endless loop! Help me please, i have no idea what to do now...

    Disabling the Open Firmware Password
    Open Firmware password protection can be bypassed if the user changes the physical memory configuration of the machine and then resets the PRAM three times (by holding down Command, Option, P, and R keys during system startup). 
    An Open Firmware password will provide some protection, however, it can be reset if a user has physical access to the machine and can change the physical memory configuration of the machine.

  • How do you reset an ipad mini without knowing the password?

    I have just recently changed my password, but know i have forgot the new one. How do you reset the ipad without knowing the password?

    If you mean the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    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.

  • How do i reset and erase all content settings when i dont know my restriction password

    How do I reset and erase all content without knowing a restriction passcode

    You can't. You have to get into settings in order to erase all content and settings. You have to restore the devics using iTunes and you have to restore as new or if you restore the backup, you will just be restoring the restrictions code that you can't remember.
    Do not backup the iPad since you will not be able to use it.

  • I dont know the admin password and i dont have a disc how do i bypass this

    i need to access admin privlages but i dont have the password and i didnt recive the disc it came with how do i bypass this so i can become a admin?

    It is best to get a disk. Ring an Apple store and they may be able to provide a replacement for your original disk.
    The other benefit of owning a disk is it can be used to repair your hard drive.
    Without a disk it is like driving a car without a spare. Most of the time you don't need it except for the time when you do, and then you are stranded.
