I forgot my password for parental restrictions

a few months ago I put a parental lock on my son's ipod touch but have forgotten the password. How can I reset the password?

If you have forgotten the Restrictions passcode, your only option is to connect the device to the iTunes library it is normally synced with and restore it to factory settings.  Do not restore it from a previous backup unless the backup is older than the date that you put the passcode on because restoring from the backup restores the passcode.

  • How do I retrieve password for parental restrictions?

    How do I retrieve the password for parental restrictions?  Two years ago, I passed down my old Mac to my child & added a 9:00 p.m. time restriction; now, I'd like to remove the restriction, but have forgotten the password.  Is there any way to retrieve or change the original password?  Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

  • I forgot my password for restriction section, how to retrive it?

    i forgot my password for restriction section, how can i retrive it?

    You can't retrieve it. If you could, what would be the sense of having a passcode. If it was retrievable, then maybe someone else could retrieve it and that would do you no good.
    You will have to restore your iPad by syncing with the last computer that you used to sync.
    You can read this article ...

    Read this as well. In order to bypass the passcode, you may have to use recovery mode in order to restore.

  • 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.

  • I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?

    I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?

    The instructions are in that link. Just follow them VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the part about:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. [but DON'T connect it to the iPhone yet]
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see the iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
