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.

HT201210 i forgot my passcode and cant connect to itune,, how to recover my passcode

Forgot my passcode on iphone 4, phone is disabled and it says i should connect to itune after try different passcode. I have tried to connect to itune but my phone does not appear to be connected to itune.
How to recover the passcode, since there is no even a screen to enter passcode apart from disabled and emergence calls?

If it's a passcode lock and you can't remember the passcode, the only option is to restore the iPhone.
See this Apple doc for more info -> iOS: Device disabled after entering wrong passcode

I forgot my passcode and cant download itunes

I lost my pass code and I can't download iTunes bc I have only an iphone 5s I need to restore or reset my phone to use it again. Please help

Sorry, but your question is not clear. What do you mean you need to restore or reset your iPhone to use it again? And what does iTunes have to do with it?
Cheers,

Cant remember my passcode and cant get the phone to sync to itunes

I cant remember the passcode to my iphone 4s and I can't get it to sync to iTunes to reset it either

Hey nickynackynoonoo,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you are having issues with your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My daughter has forgotten her passcode. When I try to restore it through itunes, it does not allow me to do so because I had turned on the "find my iphone" feature upon activation. Is there a way to restore it if I can't get to the settings to turn the "find my iphone" off? Please help.:-0

I forgot my passcode. and i need to restore my iphone 4 in order to reset the passcode. But I haven't backed up to icloud recently and REALLY cant lose my 1000 photos, contacts, ect. How to i backup before having to reset every thing?

You can't. If there was a way to get into the phone and backup data without a passcode, what would be the purpose of the passcode?
Either think harder, or prepare to lose all your data.

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,
SiHero

If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
(Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )
