I have forgotten my restrictions pass code what can I do

iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Learn how to use iTunes to restore your iOS device.
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:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Back up your device.
Transfer and sync content to your computer.
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
Click Restore.
After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
If needed, restore your device from a previous backup.
If restoring does not finish successfully or if a restore error appears, see iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages.
Additional Information
If your device is continually restarting, not responding, or showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, place the device into recovery mode and try restoring again.
Devices with cellular service should activate after a restore. If activation is not successful, see this article.

  • HT201304 ? I have forgotten my restrictions passcode and can't make any changes. I have already did a reset with iTunes but it still didn't help. The restrictions lock is still there.

    I set a restrictions passcode and have completely forgotten it. I have tried to reset with iTunes but it just clears out my phone and when I turn it back on its still locked in the restrictions menu. U can't do a reset on your phone without it... So I don't know what to do.. Help!!!

    There is no default code.
    - 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 What can I do if I have forgotten my restrictions passcode please help ?

    I have forgotten my restrictions passcode even though I cannot remember setting one, I have read that I need to reset my I pad2 but when I try to do this it asks for it again please help this is driving me nuts

    Note that if the backup was made with the forgotten Restrictions passcode on the iPod, restoring the iPod from backup will also restore the the unknown Restrictions passcode. Thereore, a restore to factory defaults/new iPad is usually required.

    I have forgotten my restrictions passcode and i dont want to lose any media on my iphone, or any apps, i am scared to back up my media for restore in future as these photos and videos mean a great deal to me, is there any way i could get around it? Thankyou if you can help; oh and last time i restored my iphone it didnt restore ALL the media only some and very improtant photos went missing :(

    All media and apps on the device should already be in iTunes on the computer.
    If you have forgotten the restrictions passcode, the ONLY option is to restore as new.
    Then sync back any media, apps, contacts, etc back to the device.
    You can not restore from backup as the restrictions passcode is included in the backup.

  • HT1212 I have forgotten my restrictions passcode on my iphone. How can I override/ get past this problem & get safari back? Any help much appreciated!!

    Hi there!
    I've forgotten the restrictions passcode that I set up. I've failed on 5 attempts. What can I do to get rid of it and access safari again?! I've restored original settings (which happily updated my software), but then restored the last phone back up which I made & so, of course, still have restrictions set as on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
    You will not be able to perform a backup as this would include the Restrictions passcode... which is what you have to remove...

  • I have forgotten my restrictions passcode

    Hi I have bought a new 5S and want to give my old Iphone 5 to my wife but have forgotten the restrictions pass code how do I rest phone or reset this passcode?

    The only way to remove restrictions passcode is a full restore.  You cannot restore from a backup that has been done since the restrictions passcode was created as it also has the passcode encrypted in the backup.

  • What do I do if I have forgotten my Restrictions Passcode?

    I have no idea and I don't want to worsen the situation by guessing. Can Apple reset this?

    I locked my restrictions because my daughter that is 3 likes to delete my apps well i locked them using a passcode and have 27 failed attempts and obviously can not remember it can anyone help me please!!!!!!! i have restored it and still cant unlock it

    The Restrictions passcode is included with the iPhone's backup so if you don't know the restrictions passcode, you must restore your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

  • HT201365 I have just upgraded to ios7, entered a passcode and now the ipad has been disabled because I must have entered the wrong passcode, what can I do to re-enable my ipad?

    I have just upgraded my ipad to ios7 and entered a passcode.  When I switched on again I must have mistaken the numbers I used and my ipad is now disabled.  What can I do?

    You'll have to restore it to remove the passcode.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • Have forgotten my restore password what can i do

    have forgotten restore password is there anyting in can do

    The thing that you can do is to go and post this question in the correct forum - the iPhone forum. 
    This is an iWeb forum, so you problably won't get any help here.

  • My new 2012 mac was given to me with out a startup disc.  I have forgotten my password.  what can I do

    I have a new 21'" imac the my office.  It was ready to go.  We did not get a start up disc, as it has no disc drive
    I worked late one evening and put in the password just to check it out.  A couple of weeks later I went finish setting
    it up and install some software, but I forgot the password, and I cannot reset it.  Will it have to go to an apple store??

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on
