    You'll have to login to iCloud.com, from any computer, locate, then erase your phone. Once done, restore from backup, if you have one.
    That's the only way for you to fix this.

    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.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    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 iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT1277 I can't remember my password.  What do I do?

    I am trying to set up my work email in my mail program on my new macbook air, but I can't remember the password I used on this mailbox.  What do I do to show or reset my mail password?

    You might be able to look up the password in an existing mail client (do you have one that's already using the mailbox?  If you do, that client likely has the password (somewhere) that can be retrieved), or you can get in contact with the folks that manage the mail server at your work, and ask them to reset it.

  • What do I do if i can't remember the password to get into my airport time machine.

    The hard drive on laptop died and was replaced. I want to use my backup to restore but can't remember the password to the Time Machine.

    You mean the password because you encrypted your backups or your wifi password? If encrypted backups, I think you are really really out of luck but hope others can help. It is my understanding that without that password, there is nothing you can do with your backups or even access them from another computer, that's the purpose of encrypting them.
