HT201304 How to reset forgotten pass code in restrictions?

Restrictions is turned on but I can't get into it because I don't remember pass code? Have no idea what is or is not restricted.

The only way to remove a restrictions passcode is to save as much of your data as possible (import your photos and videos to your computer, back up your calendar and contacts, sync your phone with iTunes to transfer your purchases, etc.), and then restore the phone as a new iPhone without using your backup.

‘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.

I am stuck in an App with Guided Access and have forgotten pass code? Help!

I have forgotten pass code for Guided Access and can not get of the App? I don't know what to do next? I have tried resetting by holding Home button and on/off for 10 seconds. What now?

Hi Suzanne
If you continue to be unable to guess the passcode by brute force attempts, you can connect the device to a computer that has synced the device and unlock things with a sync.
If you have never synced with iTunes then you can try this:
1.Hold the Lock Button
2.Slide the Slide To Power Off slider [If touch is disabled/you're unable to slide it, do a hard reset — hold the lock and home button until the Apple Logo appears]
3.When your iDevices powers up, immediately exit the app that automatically opens.
4.Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access
5.Click Set Passcode
6.Enter new password
7.Reboot again.
8.Wait for the app to automatically open and Triple tap the home button
9.Enter the new password

How to reset my security code?

how to reset my security code to standard if i forgot my security code
Moderator's Note: The subject was edited as we have moved the post from an existing thread and created a new topic.

Because Nokia Software Recovery Tool does not support the Nokia-Dead-USB-Mode for neither Symbian or a Nokia Series 40 phone, you cannot bypass a screen/keylock which is protected by the security code. However, if the phone does not give that lock-screen – is booting up and your able to select the USB mode on the phone – then you are able to apply the Nokia Software Recovery Tool – which resets the security code back to its initial state (no value set or 12345).
