     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). 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. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the
          Back Up option. If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary
          to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore or have forgotten your restrictions passcode, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.

       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:

How to reset my passcode on my iphone 3g

i lost my passcode for my restriction on my iphone 3g, how can i reset it without locking my iphone cus my iphone 3g is unlock and jailbroken please help

You've got a problem there, and no, Apple cannot help you. If you can't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to restore your phone as a new device in iTunes to remove it. The restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup, thus restoring from backup will continue to restore the restrictions passcode. You will need to delete all existing iPhone backups first. You can find them under iTunes>Preferences>Devices. All data on your phone will be lost.
I should add, depending on how your phone was jailbroken, you may not be able to restore your phone in iTunes using a stock firmware. The restore could very well fail, leaving your phone in essence a brick. I'm not saying this will happen to you, just that it is a possibility you need to be aware of. If the restore is successful, it will re-lock your phone to the carrier it was originally locked to if your phone was not officially unlocked.

How to reseet restriction passcode? I don't think I have set it.

It looks like iphone passcode and restriction passcode are different. I have not set the restriction passcode before. How do I reset it w/o re-intall the software?

It depends. If you haven't ever set it, when you go into restrictions it will prompt you for a password. At the top of the screen, it will say "Set a Restrictions Passcode". You can then enter a 4-digit number (make sure what you are entering and writing it down). It will then prompt you to enter it again. Once you've done that, you can enable and disable restrictions.
Later on, if you disable restrictions, you will be back at square one and can re-create a new passcode.
However, if you've set it, or for some strange reason iOS 5 or someone else set it, you're stuck. Look for this thread for ideas and frustrations. The solutions there do not work for iOS 5. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2667637?start=0&tstart=0
