HT1212 restriction password

i have forgotten my ipod restriction code what should  i do

You will likely not be able to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings.. If you can't
- 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

  • HT1212 forgot my restrictions password ipad

    I have forgotten my restrictions password for my ipad 1 with iOS 6. Kindly please help.  I have tried to reset the ipad through itunes and it did not reset due to lack of space. But since i forgot the password,i cannot reset anything!

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) 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.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           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:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. If you have forgotten the Restrictions passcode, then you need to restore it as New or restore a backup from before the Restrictions passcode was created.

    You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

  • HT201240 how do you reset the restriction password on my ipod

    how do reset the restriction password on my ipod

    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.

  • HT1766 How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, when my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, i jUst purchased?

    How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!

    If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
    Everything on the phone will be lost.
    You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

  • After restoring my phone as New, how do I get my contacts and data back without the restrictions password

    I forgot my restrictions password so I restored my Iphone as a New phone.  Now, how do I get the contacts, apps and other data back on the Iphone? Can I restore my contacts & data without it also requiring a restrictions password again?

    Thanks for replying.  I had to do this process in order to get ICloud activated so I don't have it there.  I do have an external backup of the Itunes library, but it sounds like that would also restore the restriction password that I don't know.
    Why would ICloud be different (if I had backed up there?) Does it only save data?
    And It sounds like I need to keep my contacts in another source .... such as? ...  No, I don't use email much and my contacts arec the phone numbers I've captured in my phone.  After I have them backed up to ICloud, do I also need to make sure they are somewhere else to where I won't run into losing them again?
    appreciate your experience and help.

    If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • I have an iPhone 4 and I forgot the restrictions password.

    On my iPhone 4 I can't remember the restrictions password but I want Safari back.  I tried restoring the whole phone, but after re-downloading ios 6.1.3it said I couldn't restore it.  So I want to know if updating to ios7 will allow me to reset the restrictions password or to turn restrictions off again, or if there's any way to restore the phone (I've done it with my iPod touch without a problem, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't let me do it with the iPhone).
    Thanks!

    Normally you have to perform a reset as a new device, losing all data when forgetting the restrictions passcode.  However this might give you some ideas:

  • HT4946 I have an ipad gen 3 and forgot my "restrictions" password. How can fix?

    I have reset my ipad to the factory settings and was able to reset the restrictions pw.  I then restored my ipad from a backup but it also restored my password(s). 
    1) Can I make a backup and NOT include backing up the "settings" such as password?
    2) Can I somehow simply reset my restrictions password?
    3) other?
    I'm okay if all the settings go away ... but I want to ensure that I keep my data/itunes/etc.
    Thanks.

    If the restrictions passcode was on the iPad when the backup was taken (which it appears to be if it's there when you've restored) then you won't be able to use that backup - a restore is all or nothing.
    Whilst the restore is still on the iPad you can copy important documents, notes, photos off the iPad e.g. via file sharing, transfer via your wifi network, dropbox, email, depending upon what the apps support. Things like your music, films, TV shows, and the actual apps (just their content/settings are included) aren't included in a backup, the restore picks them up from your iTunes library.

  • How do you recover your restrictions password

    I want to recover my restrictions password without restoring it back to factory defalt settings

    Phily. That is not try as reported by many users. Restoring from backup does restore the Restrictions Passcode
    The following also states:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)
    It appears that the Users Guide is misleading or it does not apple to the Restrictions Passcode.
