Not possible. Someone with access to the device enabled a restrictions passcode. Never has the iOS generated one all on its own. It just doesn't happen. -
I have never set a firmware password on mymacbook pro, but when I hold down option to boot from a different drive, I geta lock, and have no idea what the password is, i am the first owner of my mac so its impossible that someone else has set the password, i have only noticed this becuae i made a bootcamp partition and installed windows onto the machine, after the installation... i shut down the comptuer and continued to use os x, days later i tried to boot into the boot camp partition again by holding down the option key on boot, but i got a window asking me for a firmware password that i have no idea of! please help me!
willHi macbookprowilliam, I have the SAME problem, that grey lock just appeared trolling me. I dunno the password and I wan't to sell this macbook! I need the password. Maybe it's a new malware!

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
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 (see in the image below). 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, 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. -
I never set a restrictions passcode on my iPhone. I recently tried to make an in-app purchase, and I was directed to this passcode for the first time. There is not any support for Apple on this issue. If I cannot use Apps, what is the point of having smartphone? This coupled with Apple/Yelp maps is going to force me to switch.
So if I understand you correctly, you are saying someone from Apple had access to your phone and without your knowledge set a passcode restriction on your phone. Is that right? I do not think so! Apple is not responsible for the passcode that is set on your phone. Restriction Passcodes do not appear by themselves and cannot be set remotely and can only be set by someone who has access to the phone itself

For some reason I cannot post a new question so adding to this one.
I have the same problem with the voicemail password. I have a voicemail password, I don't need to reset it - but I want to get rid of it. Did you get a satisfactory answer?
VERY irritating to suddenly have to put in a password to hear voicemails. What is up with iPhone? I hope someone can help me. -
Does Apple have any plans to help those of us who never set backup encryption passwords clear the encryption so we can backup? I have no use for iTunes if I can't at least backup my phone. Apple should never have encrypted the backups without giving those of us with unencrypted backups a way out.
I have tried every password I have ever used for anything on my computer (and some I would never have thought of) and have had no luck.
ThanksDo you use an exchange account? Depending on the security settings set for your exchange account it will automatically encrypt your phones backup.
You will need to get the password from you exchange account admin.
You would need the server password for the exchange account.

I set a restriction password to my child's iphone 3gs and have forgotten it. Is there any way to recover it? And if I do an update will that delete password? This is all new to me so thanks in advance!

No.

No. To remove a forgotten restrictions passcode requires restoring the device as "New" in iTunes, NOT from backup. -

My 6+ iphone is not allowing me to access icloud nor any of my email accounts. I've tried to reset it but it asks for my 'restrictions' passcode which I
did not set up. I can't reset it via itunes either because it says I have to turn 'find my iphone' off but it is off. What should I do please?Hi nadzpad,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone 6 Plus. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing or describing. If you are being asked for a Restrictions password, you may find the following article helpful:
About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If you are getting a message that you must turn off Find My iPhone before restoring from iTunes, then these articles may be more useful:

How do I get rid of keychain popups? I never set a keychain password.
Keychain popups happen CONSTANTLY since I got back from the Apple store when a manufacturer error required a hard drive replacement. I can't sign in to iMessage - although my password works to log me in to the computer, I get a keychain message immediately when trying to log in to iMessage. I get keychain messages almost continually through the day - 50x/day approximately. They vary in what they say.
One of the many says "A keychain cannot be found to store registration v1". There are several other messages which I can't remember. I have tried a few of the ways recommended here. Oops, another one just popped up.
Here is the sequence: "A keychain cannot be found to store KADiAdIDStorageKey."
When I click "Reset to Defaults", it asks if I'm sure about that.
I hit "Reset" get another popup:
"Please enter your login password. This will be used to create your new keychain."
I enter my Apple ID password and hit OK.
Now a new popup appears: "iTunes wants to use the "local items" keychain". Enter password.
I enter my Apple ID password and it wiggles (wrong password).
I have to hit cancel to make it go away.
It pops up, or "Mail wants to use the "local oems" keychain" pops up. I have to continually hit "cancel" all day long to stop these things.
PLEASE HELP ME!!! I never set up a keychain password, don't know what it is, don't want it, don't need added security, never had this problem for the first year that I owned this thing.
Thank you.It doesn't want your Apple ID password. It wants your computer's admin account password that you use to log into the computer.
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync 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.
