I need to know my restrictions password

I Need help knowing my restrictions password how do I get to know my password again?

If you have forgotten the restrictions passcode, you cannot do a simple restore of the system as the restrictions passcode is stored as part of the backup.  The unlock passcode is not stored as part of the backup so you can simply erase and restore to remove it.
In the case of the restrictions passcode, the only way to remove the passcode is an erase of the system, Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.  That removes all of your apps, data, photos, music, etc.  The device is then as if it came out of the box.  You can restore your apps, and so on, if you made a backup of the iPad BEFORE you installed a restrictions passcode.  If you did not make a backup before adding the restrictions passcode, you will have to either live with the iPad as is, or erase and then start the process of downloading apps and music from scratch.
If you have an iCloud account, be sure and put all photos in iCloud photo stream so you can restore them to the iPad after erasing it.

    I don't know my restrictions password.

    If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

  • How do you reset your iPod Touch 5th Gen if you do not know the restrictions password?

    I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation and i need to reset it because i am having issues with it not loading basically anything since i did the update. I don't know the restrictions passcode so i was wondering if there was any way to reset it without the password.

    Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod. . Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.   
    - If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
    1)  Restore the Device as New...
    See Sections 5 and 6 here...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    OR...
    2)  From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

  • HT1212 My Ipod Touch is disabled and i need to know what my password is without using itunes because my ipod is not synced with itunes.

    I don't use my ipod touch that much but now i want to.So when I tried to unlock it, I tried like everything I could to try to unlock it and now it is disabled. It has been disabled for about 30 minutes now and is still. I don't have it set up with itunes and it won't let me set it up because the ipod is not unlocked. So I need to know how I can unlock my ipod without buying stuff, using itunes, having difficulties, contacting apple, or taking it to an AT&T store or whatever. So I REALLY need some help!! :/

  • How do i reset and erase all content settings when i dont know my restriction password

    How do I reset and erase all content without knowing a restriction passcode

    You can't. You have to get into settings in order to erase all content and settings. You have to restore the devics using iTunes and you have to restore as new or if you restore the backup, you will just be restoring the restrictions code that you can't remember.
    Do not backup the iPad since you will not be able to use it.

  • I don't know my restrictions password

    I don't know my restrictions password

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

    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.

  • I need to know the default password

    When fixing options and stuff your router you have to put it in a username and password, even when installing it your asked to make one, but I've had to reset the router so many times i gave up on using the same one and left at default so i wouldn't forget, well i hit a lucky streak and didn't have to reset the bugger for awhile and well i ended forgetting what the default username and password are for the system
    and when i say system its for when you type in your ip address in the web address to fix settings and etc.
    anyway i guess my product would be WRT54G
    so if u could help it would be greattly appreciated.

    Reset router for 2 minutes then unplug the power of the router for 10 seconds and power it back on. That should hopefully completely put the router back to it's default settings....

  • Restrictions password after restoring backup

    I needed to change the restrictions password on the phone.  I followed the procedures using Itunes.  I then changed the restrictions password.  However when I restored the phone to get my contacts, it overwrote the new password that I just created.  How do I get my contacts back and keep a new password?

    If you forgot your Restrictions passcode you have three options:
    - Restore from a backup made before there was a Restrictions passcode.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod. Restoring from backup just restores the Restrictions passcode if one was in the backup.
    - See: It is not easy.

    If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • I forgot my restrictions password and I need to know how to get rid of it

    Can you help me reset my restrictions password

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