I forgot the restriction pass code in my I pad, now unable to use various applications

forgot restriction passcode

The only way around that is to do an erase of all content and settings and then restore from a backup that predates when the restrictions code was added.  Unlike the lock passcode, the restrictions passcode is stored as part of the backup of the iOS device.
SeeiTunes: About iOS backups for where iTunes keeps the backups for different operating systems.

    I can't update to iOS 7 as need to delete data but have forgot my restrictions pass code so it won't work ....help

    If you have a backup that was created before you entered the passcode you can restore from that backup to remove it from the iPad. If not, you have to restore the iPad as new in order to remove the passcode.
    You may have some success finding the passcode with a third party app like this.

  • How do I find out what the restrictions pass code is

    My son is trying to purchase some additions to a game but when accessing the App Store he is asked for the restriction pass code. However we don't recall setting one up for him and he hasn't been asked for this before. Why? How do we find out what it is?  This is since upgrading to version 5.1.

    If you restricted in-app-purchases in Settings/General/Restrictions, and you don't remember the restriction code anymore to disable the restrictions, you'll have to set up the iPod as new device again, without using the latest backup, the restriction code is part of the backup and can't be changed by restoring the device from a backup that has been taken after the code has been set.
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If there are no restrictions set, the code he is asking for is the iTunes ID password, to be able to purchase and download. If you have forgotten that one, follow this article to reset it:

  • HT201304 Can the restrictions pass code be different than the auto lock pass code?

    Can the restrictions pass code be different than the auto lock pass code. Defeats the purpose if a child can get into restrictions using the same code that is used to prevent unauthorized access to the phone itself.

    Of course it can, for the reason you state.

    There is no way. You must restore the device as new. You can only restore a backup you made prior to when you put the restriction code in place.

    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.

  • HT201304 I forgot my restriction pass code , how do I retrieve it or change it?

    I have forgotten my restrictions pass code.  How do I retrieve my pass code or how can I change it.  Thanks

    There is no way to retrieve it. You have to restore to factory settings.
    Restoring from a backup will simply restore the restrictions passcode that you cannot remember - unless in the unlikely event that you have a backup that predates the restrictions passcode, then you could restore from that backup.

  • HT201363 Forget the restriction pass code, can the apple store send to me to reopen and change the code?

    Can apple store help me to send back the old pass code, then I can change to a new one for safety!
    Thanks!

    Hello KKchristks,
    It sounds like you need to reset your Restrictions passcode. According to the following article, you will need to restore your iPhone as a new device:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
    If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
    If you are not referring to a Restictions passcode, would you elaborate on the passcode you are attempting to reset?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • HT201269 Forgot my restrictions pass code!! Help!

    How do you retrieve restrictions pass code if you forget?! New device and number due to switching phone carrier and restored from iTunes but having major issues! Seems to have me logged in on both devices and after 3 hours at retail store still no changes! Help!

    You cannot retrieve the restrictions passcode. If you have forgotten it, then you can only restore the phone as new. The passcode is in the backup so restoring from a backup will only put it back.
