Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

    To remove a forgotten Restrictions passcode you will need to either...

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    Learn how to use iTunes to restore your iOS device.
    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:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
    Back up your device.
    Transfer and sync content to your computer.
    Restoring your iOS device
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
    Click Restore.
    After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
    If needed, restore your device from a previous backup.
    If restoring does not finish successfully or if a restore error appears, see iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages.
    Additional Information
    If your device is continually restarting, not responding, or showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, place the device into recovery mode and try restoring again.
    Devices with cellular service should activate after a restore. If activation is not successful, see this article.

  • HT201304 I forgot my enable restrictions passcode: how can I get it reset?

    I accidently set this when I was traveling, probably a good thing. But now I can't make in app purchases.  None of my usual passcodes are working. Not sure what I did, but need this reset.
    Thanks,
    Terri

    If you can't remember the restrictions code then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

  • I forgot my iPhone passcode, what can I do?

  • HT201304 I forgot my restrictions passcode, how do i get it back?

    Hi Yaaresi,
    Unfortunately you will have to restore you're iPad, If you'd like to back it up, please do so.
    After it has been backed up turn your ipad into DFU mode, connect it to itunes and select restore.

  • TS3554 I have forgot my airport password, what can I do to reset or recover it?

    I have lost my password for my airport device, can anyone help?

    Which ever one you need you need access to the admin areas of the airport device (which one you don't say). There is a reset on most routers that need a paper clip to stick into the hole when you power it up. Consult the directions for your router.

  • HT201304 I Have forgot my restrictions passcode and dont know what to do so i can restore factory settings

    i have forgot my restrictions passcode and dont know what to do to restore my factory settings?

    To remove a restrictions password you'll have to restore your phone as a new device without using your backup and start over.  Save as much of your data as you can first (import your photos & videos to your computer, email your notes to yourself of sync them to a supported program, back up your contacts such as by syncing them with iCloud, etc.), then follow this guide to restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode. And i can't restore because my "find my ipod" is on. But i also can't do anything because i don't have an icloud for this device. What can i do?!!

I can't do anything on icloud.com either because I did not put my device on there. What can I do??

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    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.

  • I forgot my restrictions passcode to my iphone4,please tell me what I can do.

    I forgot my restrictions passcode to my iphone4,please tell me what I should do.

    There is nothing you can do but put it into recovery mode and set it up as a new phone. You can not restore your backup or you will restore the restrictions as well.
    Well, there is one otherthing you could do, which is to remember your restrictions passcode, but that's it.

  • I forgot my passcode to download new releases, what can I do to reset it?

    I forgot my passcode to download new releases, what can I do to reset it?

    If you mean the Settings > General > Restrictions passcode on your phone then was it on the phone when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the phone when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the phone back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the phone - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
    Or do you mean something else ?

  • I need to erase all Contents and Settings from my i phone 5 but I forgot the restrictions passcode. How can I get it. ( Idon't have access to i tunes). Thanks.

    I need to erase all Contents and Settings from my i phone 5 but I forgot the restrictions passcode. How can I get it. ( Idon't have access to i tunes). Thanks.

    Not possible.  You need access to iTunes.
    The passcode will be required to make changes to these settings or to disable Restrictions. Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

  • Hello. i forgot my restriction passcode. i havn't back up so i can restore. i want to reset my iPhone4 as new.. please help me.. please???

    hello. i forgot my restriction passcode. i havn't back up so i can restore. i want to reset my iPhone4 as new.. please help me.. please???

    The Restrictions passcode is part of the backup, so you would not want to restore from backup. To restore as new, just connect the phone to the computer and iTunes, and restore. If you cannot just click on restore, you may need to put the device into recovery mode. Search for infomation on that.

  • I forgot my restrictions passcode, if I do a restore to new with my phone and change the passcode, can I then backup from a previous restore

    I forgot my restrictions passcode, if I do a restore to new phone in iTunes and change the passcode, can I then backup from a previous restore to put everything back onto my phone.

    No you cannot. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup, and if you restore to a backup that contains the restrictions passcode, you will be right back where you started. Only alternative is to restore the device as new, or if you restore to a backup, it has to be before the restrictions passcode was entered into the phone. However, that could mean that you would be restoring to a date that does not contain all of your data.
