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 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 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

    How do you reset a forgotten restriction password on an ipod touch

    They will be erased from the iPod along with everything else, but since those songs must have originated from a source other than the iPod, they must still exist on the computer you used to sync it.
    After you restore the iPod, you just have to sync it with that same computer again.

  • 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.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
