HT4946 I have an ipad gen 3 and forgot my "restrictions" password. How can fix?

I have reset my ipad to the factory settings and was able to reset the restrictions pw.  I then restored my ipad from a backup but it also restored my password(s). 
1) Can I make a backup and NOT include backing up the "settings" such as password?
2) Can I somehow simply reset my restrictions password?
3) other?
I'm okay if all the settings go away ... but I want to ensure that I keep my data/itunes/etc.
Thanks.

If the restrictions passcode was on the iPad when the backup was taken (which it appears to be if it's there when you've restored) then you won't be able to use that backup - a restore is all or nothing.
Whilst the restore is still on the iPad you can copy important documents, notes, photos off the iPad e.g. via file sharing, transfer via your wifi network, dropbox, email, depending upon what the apps support. Things like your music, films, TV shows, and the actual apps (just their content/settings are included) aren't included in a backup, the restore picks them up from your iTunes library.
