You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

Can some one help? i dont remember my passcode to be able to rset all my settings and delete apps what can i do.
If you mean that you forgot the restrictions Passcode, typically you have to restore the device as new in order to get rid of the Passcode. If by some chance you have a backup that does not contain the password, you can restore from that backup to remove the Passcode.
I found this in another discussion a whole back and I keep it handy in case someone wants to try it. I have never down this but it worked for a couple of users that were involved in the discussion. All of the copy under the Reset Restrictions Passcode, is another user's word, not my own.
Reset restrictions Passcode
1. Download iPhone Backup Extractor http://supercrazyawesome.com/ (This is for OSX, if you are using Windows there are other Backup Extractor programs although my iPhone syncs with a Mac so you will have to tweak these directions to work with the Windows program, here is one of the Windows programs I found: http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/)
2. Extract the Zip file you downloaded, move the App to your Applications folder, then run the App
3. Click on Read Backups, in the window that pops up click on the backup file of the device you need the lost pin for, then click Choose
4. You will have a list of all the Apps on the phone. Scroll to the bottom of the list and click on iOS Files, then click on Extract. Choose a folder where you want the files to be extracted to.
5. After it finishes extracting go to the folder where you extracted the files and follow this directory path: iOS Files --> Library --> Preferences
6. In that folder find the file "com.apple.springboard.plist" and open it. (Read note below if on Windows)
7. In Property List Editor look for the key titled "SBParentalControlsPin"
8. Look to the right of that entry and you will see the 4 digit PIN. You can now remove/modify parental controls
(NOTE: If you are on Windows and do not have a program that will read PLIST files then open the file with Notepad instead. It will mostly look like garbled junk and words running together but towards the end of the file look for 4 successive digits, if there is more than one place with 4 successive digits then try them all, one of them will be your pin). -
Hi if you seen my previous post, or you might have not. My safari app isn't working and the setting for safari in setting insn't responding. I reset all setting hoping this would work and fix the problem. However, i held both the home and off button because i didn't want to do the reset anymore because i was stuck at one place for a long time. the reset with the home did happen, but the resetting all setting is still happening and progress bar hasn't move. Im not sure if its stuck or if its just taking a while.

i have problem with my wifi in 4 S, i cant connect to any wifi itried resetting network setting and reset all setting but the result was the same, its only keeps searching for wifi and cant find any, itried to use OTHER but also didnt work.please help me???
If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

"I did fresh restore, reset all setting and reboot the issue still there. I hope Apple don't forget us to solve this issue soon
Oh I've found it meanwhile! The is a 2nd post! So never mind this one! I think lawyerhusain understood he has to let Apple know, if he wants them to know and the technical thing will continue with the 2nd post!

I forget my reset all setting pasword who can reset it
forgenten password for resetting all setting i phone 3gs ios 6.1.3
Hello anamika6,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you are being prompted for a password when resetting all settings. It sounds like this could be a Restrictions passcode on your device preventing the reset. If you have forgotten this passcode, you can can use iTunes to restore your device:
If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

and is there anyway just refresh the system with out delete any program or saved file ?
just make the system setting like form factory.
Can't have it both ways. "Refreshing" w/o deleting programs and restoring to factory level are 2 different things. Also, it depends on which OS system you have. You did not mention this in any of your postings nor have you included your system info.
You have to decide which do you actually want to do?
Archive & Install (if your OS allows)

from last 3 days i am trying to my best to use facebook in my i phone 4s but still i am failture to contect,i can able to use my facebook account on my pc or laptop but not in i phone,i remove facebook so manytimes and also reset all setting but still i am fail ,pls do needful
I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

I have been trying to download photos too my MAC. It keeps saying can't create file, please check permissions on destination folder. Ihave made sure I have set the permissions on read and write. What am I doing wrong?

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
close all browser windows, then run the installer -
Is it possible to undo "reset all setting" ?
Phone wasn't back up before that.
Are you not liking the answer from your previous post about this.
If you have no backup your data is gone - whether you do a reset all setting or erase all contents and settings. -
If I reset all setting on my iphone 4 will I have to have it unlocked again? I am getting a message that says this accessory is not optimized for this Iphone and the speakers are no longer working so I am trying to find a way to fix this problem
No, there is no need to unlock a device after resetting it. A reset is very similar to a restart... no data is lost or changed.
