    How can I reset my forgotten restrictions passcode?

    You need to restore the iPad as a new device and not restore the backup, if the backup contains the restrictions passcode. If the a kip does not contain the passcode, you can restore it after you restore to factory settings.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    There are also third party apps that claim to be able to recover your passcode for you. If you want to look at any of those just do a Google search "forgot iPad restrictions passcode".

    how do you reset a forgotten restrictions password?

    Uness you have a backup that was made before you added the Restrictions passcode, you have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.  If the backup contains the Restriction passcode, it will be restored.

  • How do I reset a forgotten restrictions passcode

    About 3 years ago I took my old iPhone 4 up to get it's photos transferred to my next phone, they set my restrictions passcode on and it took away several of my favorite features (assistive touch, action movie fx, store, etc) they gave me the password and I put it on my computer, since then my computer crashed and Only the most important files were recovered.  I can't reset the phone because that's restricted.  I am thinking about turning on my login passcode and the 10 times reset feature, but that's going to take a very long time because after 3 failed attempts it starts disabling the phone for longer and longer durations.  I backed up my phone on my computer but I don't know if it backed up my restrictions passcode or not, I have a mac mini if that means anything, my computer is capable of reseting my phone, but I am currently at my grandparents house and don't have access to my computer and my Grandpa's computer that he let's me use is so slow that recovery mode will shut off like 6 times before that computer could do that.  Let me know if you have any suggestions and thank you in response

    Hi
    Unfortunately you cannot find out the restrictions code on the phone they only way would be to restore via itunes on your usual syncing computer, if you connect and click restore it should skip through the password but note it will download the lastest ios version and update.
    Hope this helps

    I New to reset my opine 4s and can't because I don't have a computer and it says I have to have a restriction passcode and I don't know it. Please help.

    The short answer is, you don't.
    The long answer is, you'll either need to get access to a computer and use Find my iPhone on iCloud.com to erase the phone or put the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes.

    You don't. You'll have to put the device into recovery mode and restore it as a NEW device. Do NOT restore your backup or the restriction settings will be restored as well.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • How do you reset a forgotten passcode on an Airport Express?

    How do you reset a forgotten passcode on an Airport Express?  I cannot find where I saved the passcode and need to add a new non-Apple device to the network.  I'm guessing that I will have to reset it and setup the network again, but do I unplug the network cable before or after pushing the reset button?

    You can put the Express in "soft reset" mode by depressing its reset pushbutton momentarily - about one second.  This will lower its shields for two minutes, long enough for you to use AirPort Utility to reset its wireless network password. There is no need to disconnect any cables when you do this.
    Or, you can retrieve your existing wireless network password from a Mac you normally use on that network.
    Read the following to determine how to retrieve your password from Keychain:
    Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
    You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
    On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
    In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
    Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
    If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password"not "AirPort network password".
    Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
    You will get the following window:
    In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
    Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
    Make note of it.
    Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.

    I Dont want to reset my ipad. I have restricted app store and cannot install apps. I have forgotten restriction passcode. Please help

    To copy purchases (apps, music etc) :
    To copy photos off, and to copy documents via file sharing, see the two links in one of my above replies.
    To reset to factory defaults, with Settings > iCloud > Find My iPad enabled you can log into the account on http://www.icloud.com and send a remote wipe message to the iPad (the iPad will need to be online), or use recovery mode and reset it via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201263

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device

      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
      4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
      5. How to Recover Forgotten iPhone Restrictions Passcode | The iPhone and iPad Blog
         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.
