Not possible. Someone with access to the device enabled a restrictions passcode. Never has the iOS generated one all on its own. It just doesn't happen.

HT1414 I never set a restrictive password, what do I do to find it?

I have never set a restrictive password and I don't know what to do. I have a four digit password for something else on my ipad but that one doesn't work on the restrictive one......HELP!

Hi, sometimes the Password is your phone number,
your Carrier can reset it for you..Call them..

HT201304 I never set a restrictions passcode, but somehow there is one set. I don't understand Apple sometimes. I think its time to make the switch.

I never set a restrictions passcode on my iPhone. I recently tried to make an in-app purchase, and I was directed to this passcode for the first time. There is not any support for Apple on this issue. If I cannot use Apps, what is the point of having smartphone? This coupled with Apple/Yelp maps is going to force me to switch.

So if I understand you correctly, you are saying someone from Apple had access to your phone and without your knowledge set a passcode restriction on your phone. Is that right? I do not think so! Apple is not responsible for the passcode that is set on your phone. Restriction Passcodes do not appear by themselves and cannot be set remotely and can only be set by someone who has access to the phone itself

I never set a restrictions passcode but my ipod is asking for one help?

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to do a reset of all settings but it asks for two passcodes, my normal one to unlock my ipod but then it asks for a second passcode called a restrictions passcode but I never set one.

What do mean by full setting reset?
A few other users has said that they had a Restrictions passcode but they said then never set one. Two possibilites.
- A glitch set one
- Someone got hold of yur iPod when the screen lock was off and added one.

Hi macbookprowilliam, I have the SAME problem, that grey lock just appeared trolling me. I dunno the password and I wan't to sell this macbook! I need the password. Maybe it's a new malware!

Home sharing problem: I have never set up home sharing but I feel I the concept and how it works. I recently (last 2 months or so) deauthorized, first time ever, all computers with my iTunes account. I have 3 computers authorized. I am trying to set up home sharing but get iTunes says:
"Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the Apple Id "#########@###.com". Would you like to authorize now?" I click "authorize" and get the next error " You cannont authorize more than 5 computers. You have already authorized 5 computers with this Apple ID. To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers."
Can someone help or shed more light on my problem?
Thanks,
Richard

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

My restriction password is not the one I set up and i can't go in to unrestrict somethin

My restriction password I not the one I set up so I can't get in to unrestrict something and I not the right password I set up

If someone else set up a Restrictions passcode, then unless that person will tell you the code, you will need to restore the iPad either using a backup created before you set the Restrictions passcode or to factory settings which will erase everything on the iPad.

The same applies if you set a code yourself and have forgotten it.

Never set a backup password

Does Apple have any plans to help those of us who never set backup encryption passwords clear the encryption so we can backup? I have no use for iTunes if I can't at least backup my phone. Apple should never have encrypted the backups without giving those of us with unencrypted backups a way out.
I have tried every password I have ever used for anything on my computer (and some I would never have thought of) and have had no luck.
Thanks

Do you use an exchange account? Depending on the security settings set for your exchange account it will automatically encrypt your phones backup.
You will need to get the password from you exchange account admin.
You would need the server password for the exchange account.

You can remove the Airplay password from the Settings menu on your AppleTV.

No.

No. To remove a forgotten restrictions passcode requires restoring the device as "New" in iTunes, NOT from backup.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. 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 turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
