How do you retrieve a forgotten passcode?

Same:

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT201304 How do you retrieve your restriction passcode?

MY 4 year old has somehow wiped safari and my camara from my iPad. The only thing I can think of is that he restricted them and made up his own passcode. I have no idea what the passcode is and was wondering how to retrieve it? Please help.

You can't retrieve it, if he doesn't remember it, you have to restore the iPad as new and then either download all of your content again or sync with iTunes again.
The one shot that you have is if he set the passcode AFTER the last time that you backed up the iPad, you can restore from that previous backup and the passcode will not be in the backup.

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

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 you retrieve a forgotten game center password?

I need help! My 8-year-old son set-up his own separate account/nickname for Game Center. Now he can't recall his password. Because he is so young, his account had to be piggy-backed with an adult's account. How can I retrieve his password? He's very upset at the prospect of having to start all hs games over.
He had a nickname, too.

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums! This is your first question, right?
Game Center isn't needed for any of your son's games to work. I don't think a 8 year old needs leaderboards or achievements. You can play without GC, but you can also try this approach by Cosmic Ray. Read the full discussion with the link below.
Hello everyone. I was having the exact same problem. Forgot my password and was unable to sign back into my Game Center account. I just figured out how to get back on, using the same Apple ID.
On Game Center sign in screen, just click "Create New Account." I entered the exact same email that I had used before, and same personal information. It alerted me that the email address was already in the system and if I wanted to use this again. I clicked "yes." After clicking the "Agree" button, my previous Apple ID was active again and I was able to sign in.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

how can i retrieve my "restrictions passcode"? i cannot proceed to unlock my iphone 4 if cannot supply the restrictions code.
thanks!

You can not do so. If you can't remember it, you will need to put the phone in DFU mode (google for instructions) and restore it as a new device. Do not restore your backup. The backup contains the restriction settings.

How can i retrieve my restrictions passcodes on my 3 apple devices without have to restore them to the factory settings?

I have 3 apple devices an IPad Air/ iPhone5 and iphone4s they all currently running the IOS 8.3 and my question is:
How can I retrieve the restrictions passcodes in all of them without have to restore them all back to the factory settings ?
I have all the backups in my Icloud , but if I do that they all will come back to the same settings I have now which includes the same passcodes I don't remember. I had all my passwords and passcodes saved before, but I cant find them.
looking forward to hear from one of you out there...
Thank you!

There's no way around restoring the device as new if you cannot remember your restrictions password. If there were, it would make having a restriction password useless.

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.
