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.

  • TS4006 i forgot the password of my phone

    How can I restore my iPhone if I forgot my password? Every time I try to restore, the system asks me to deactivate Find my Phone in my iPhone, but I can't have access to the phone...
    Can anybody help?

    Hello Ximenaberecochea
    If you are stuck with being locked out of your iPhone, put your iPhone into you recovery-mode, by following the steps in the article below. Once in recovery-mode, it can be restored but you will need to put in your Apple ID and password to unlock it after the fact.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

    A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
    I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

    When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center.  You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address.  800-694-7466

  • HT1212 i recently upgraded my OS, all my data is backed up on my laptop, to restore the data i need  to enter the password to my phone data backup, which i forgot, is there anyway i could get back?

    i recently upgraded my OS, all my data is backed up on my laptop, to restore the data i need  to enter the password to my phone data backup, which i forgot, is there anyway i could get back?

    No. If there was a way of getting hold of the password, it wouldn't be much of a security system, would it?  The backup is lost if you can't remember.
