HT201304 How do I disable parental controls?

I forgot the parental controls pass code, and I need to unlock it. I do not have a computer with me (I use a computer at work only). Is there a way to disable it without a computer? I'm asking this question on his ipad. Thank you for your help!

Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
 Cheers, Tom

How do you disable Parental Controls without admin password? When I go on Safari, this window pops ALL THE TIME saying you need to add some certain websites. I really want to get on Facebook and YouTube. I don't even remember the password.

I need to get on Facebook and YouTube so I can make my videos and post them and post stuff on Facebook to my friends. Please help me? Plus it's an iMac model: A1208. I really need help.

If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document.
As Murray said, Flash is dead. Nobody uses it anymore. We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash. Look at Edge Animate.

Problem disabling Parental Control

Hi!
I have had problems with Firefox since I installed Leopard, and now I've pinpointed it to Parental Control. On a freshly created account, there is no problem. If I turn on Parental Control (I switched it on, and disabled changes in the Dock and limited the web access) and then change it back (i.e. allowing changes in the Dock and unlimited web access - there is no general overall "disable Parental Control" as far as I can see), some Web sites does not display, I get "411 Length required" error.
I found a bug filed on Firefox (in Bugzilla), but I don't know if the problem is in Firefox (my bet is on Leopard, but that's just a guess).
The same web pages work on Firefox 3 beta.
One (Swedish) example is hemnet.se - enter e.g. "Stockholm" in the "Snabbsök" quick search text box. I get the 411 on that.
Anyway, I've tried deleting lots of preference stuff, listing files before and after the Parental Control thing trying to locate the problem - but I just cannot make it go away.
Any clues on how to kill it?

Hi Everyone. As a relatively new MAC user and the only person to use my MAC, I am the administrator and when I set up my computer, being a 48 year old without children around the house, did not need or wish to have parental controls enabled and wouldn't have checked any restrictions, (The check box in 'Accounts' is unchecked). However, in iTunes, in the parental settings of preferences for the iTunes store, the restrict movies box is ticked & set to 12 and the restrict TV programmes marked caution box is ticked too. I do not wish to be restricted on anything and everytime I try to change them they have reverted back the next time I look??? Why is this please ... and how do I change it, is it a separate setting to the 'Accounts' setting, I am baffled, or have I missed something?
Thank you.

How can I restore Parental Control Settings from Time Machine Backup?

I was trying to adjust one of the parental controlled accounts for my child. I disabled parental controls, rebooted, and re-enabled it. Now all the settings that I had setup before are gone. How can I restore Parental Control Settings from Time Machine Backup?

Hi ...
I've found a solution to my problem.
Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
Hope this helps.
BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html
(Thanks goes to Pondini!)

Hi,We recently bought one PS3 and I foud a big problem. I'm adult but one of the users of it is under age.I registered his account as a sub acount of mine and I disabled parental control cause I want his account unrrestricted. He can play MW3 on history mode but can't play online (says that Its restricted by the parental control). I disabled all settings about parental control in PS3 and on his sub-account but still cant play. ¿We cant remove that restricction or we have to fake the age? (If we have to fake the age I think that is stupid and maybe return the PS3 and change it for other console... cause no entrepise should say what can do our childs if we allow them to do it) Regards.

Due to a scam invading my computer recently, I cannot block these site in Parental Controls. This feature locks immediately and I must use Force Quit to close. Any ideas as to how to unlock Parental Controls? The two scams appear to be gone as I can now use Safari.

How can I remove parental controls? PLEASE HELP!

I just got my Mac-Mini, and sometimes when I want to do something on it, A screen with 'parental controls' pops up, and I have to enter a password, which I don't know. I've asked my parents if they did this, but they didn't! And after an hour, my Mac says: Your time is over, to add an extra hour, enter your password. How can I remove it? It's very annoying because I can't even go to Facebook, or Youtube.

The parents, if the mini were ever used officially by them and had any software
installed, bought music, updated the system, etc, would've used their Apple ID.
So, if through legitimate sources and correctly set-up, or if bought used and set
up with the new owner's information, installed new OS X, and etc, it would have
an Admin account or be accessible by the owner's Apple ID.
Before using suggested links to change an unknown Admin access password,
be sure to check, because if this unit has seen any software update, iTunes,
App Store or Mac App Store access, someone has an account and it may be
that would alter how the computer was used by them, if you change it now.
Also, to update or upgrade System software, and most online store access, does
require a valid payment card to be entered. If the parents are a party to this use,
then seems to reason, they should be in on what to change the new password to.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I change parental controls on multiple machines through ARD

I am trying to manage 36 new iMacs in a high school classroom setting. I need to adjust the parental controls on all 36 machines so that they all have the same restrictions. I am running ARD but cannot figure out how to do that... any ideas?

You could probably write a UNIX script that would pull from a list of MAC addresses for each computer and send the appropriate IP address, but unless you have a lot of computers you need to change, writing such a script may be more work than just sending the commands individually.
Of course if you change the IP address on a computer you're working with via ARD, you'll sort of be pulling the ladder out from under yourself, so the task will never report as completed. You'll need to quit it manually and re-add the systems. This may also affect running of a script for further systems; I've not tried to change IP addresses en masse so I don't know.
Regards.
