HT4113 I forgot my password in the "restrictions" area, how I unlock it?

I forgot my password in the "restrictions" area, how I unlock it? I have tried 10 times I just cannot remember it, Is that why I cannot acces certain apps like: Netflix and hulu plus?

You can't unlock it. The only way around it is to restore your iPad to factory settings. You can't restore from a backup since the backup will probably contain the password that you can't remember. If you do have a backup that predates the restrictions passcode, you can restore from that backup. If not, restore to factory settings and start all over again.
Yes that could be why you cannot access those apps - if you restricted content for movies in the restrictions.

    YOU CAN ALSO FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again.

  • I forgot my password in my restriction

    I forgot my password in my restriction. How do I restart it on the computer?

    Restore the device as new, there is no way to recover or reset the restrictions passcode.

  • I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

    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.

  • How to reboot my iphone in itunes, when i forgot my password on the iphone?

    how to reboot my iphone in itunes, when i forgot my password on the iphone?

    Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Or, login to iCloud.com, locate the phone, then erase it.
    Either method will remove the passcode.

  • HT201343 Forgot my password for the Apple TV. How do I find out what it is? It is not my Apple ID.

    Forgot my password for the Apple TV.
    I was trying to mirror my computer via Apple TV on the TV Screen.
    I have done this many times but now I am being asked for the airplay device passord.
    I tried my Apple ID and the WiFi passwords but neither worked.
    How do I find out what it is?
    Joeblu

    Try going into the setting and under "AirPlay" change the code!
    Hope this helps.

  • I forgot my password for the admin on my macbook

    I forgot my password for the admin on my macbook. Unfortunately I can't reset it with my apple-ID either. I want to keep my account since I need the things that's saved there. Anyone who can help me?

    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
    If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
    With 10.8 or 10.9 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
    of actions, choose Terminal.  When Terminal opens type:
    resetpassword
    and press enter.
    You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case.  Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box.  Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset.  Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

  • HT5625 I forgot my password for my icloud backup, how can I retrive?

    I forgot my password on my icloud backup, how can I retrive?

    There is no password for connecting a mouse.  There's passwords for logging in.  Perhaps passwords from waking from sleep or screen saver. 
    Perhaps you mean how do you pair it to your machine.  If it works as it should go into your mouse system preferences and click the "Set up bluetooth mouse" button.
