I forgot my restriction code for my ipod how do I retrieve it or reset it

How do I restart my restriction code or retrieve my forgotten code?

Hi Azcrow vilon,
If you forgot the Restrictions passcode, the one that you use to enable or disable features on the iPod touch, you'll have to restore the iPod touch to factory settings before you can disable restrictions. These articles provide more details and will walk you through the process:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
Tap Enable Restrictions and enter a passcode. You can use the passcode to change your settings or turn off Restrictions. If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Before you restore your device
Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
Use iTunes to back up your device and transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary pane, click the Restore button for your device.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart, and you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.
Additional Information
If you get an error message, find out how to fix most update and restore errors.
If your iOS device with cellular service doesn’t activate after restoring, find out how to fix activation issues.
If your iOS device restarts repeatedly or isn’t responding, for example if you see a stopped progress bar or no progress bar, put the device into recovery mode and restore it again.

  • I forgot my restriction code on my iPod 4th Gen, and I dont have the same computer to do a reset. I have a new computer. How do I reset it without this code?

    I am selling my iPod touch, but I forgot the Restriction Code so I can't reset it and I have a new computer, so all of my Apple stuff isn't there anyway. that is one of the main reason I wanted to sell my iPod because when I got a new computer I lost everything. But now I cant reset it without this code and I don't know what to do. Is there a way I can reset it without the code on my new computer?

    If you can't remember the Passcode, restore the device from the computer it was last synced with by placing the iPod in reocvery mode.

  • HT1414 I forgot my restrictions code on my iPhone. How can I recover it or remove it?

    I forgot my restrictions code for my old iPhone that I need to send back to Verizon. I need to remove some info on it before i return it. I can remove the info until I get into my restrictions to turn on services that I had disabled. How can I recover or remove the code fro my resreictions or is it even possible to do?

    I forgot my restrictions code and was wondering how I could recover it.  I have tried 10 times and locked it up for an hour.

    Some users set up their iPad/iPhone to erase all data after 10 failed attempts.
    Here are the instructions:

    Unless you've backed up everything, you will lose all of your data.

  • Forgot my restriction password on my ipod 4 gen

    i forgot the restriction password in my ipod and I have 2 failed attempt

    Was it on the iPod when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPod when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPod back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPod - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
