I never set up a restrictions passcode.  How do I reset?

After the last upgrade I added a passcode as requested.  I never set up a restrictions passcode.  How do I reset the restriction passcode?

Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...

    See Sections 5 and 6 here... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    OR...

    how can I remove the restriction passcode without having to reset device

    Put in the restrictions passcode, and then Disable Restrictions.
    Otherwise, you can't.  That's the ENTIRE purpose of a passcode lock.

  • TS3682 I have forget my restriction passcode how I can get it?plz help

    I have forget my restriction passcode how I can get it?plz help

    You are out of luck. There is no way to recover it and now you will have to restore your iPad as new and you will lose everything on it. If you restore from a backup, you will just be restoring the forgotten restrictions passcode onto the iPad.
    If by some chance .... You have a backup that was created before you put the restrictions passcode on the iPad, you can restore from that backup, but if not, you have to restore as new.

  • If you forget your cover lock passcode, how do you reset it?

    If you forget your cover lock passcode, how do you reset it?

    If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    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.

  • My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

    My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

    Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.)  If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
    However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different.  You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

  • Ipod will not let me put in passcode how can i reset it?

    ipod will not let me put in passcode how can i reset it?

    If a reset (the method Kevin refers to) doesn't work, you'll probably need to try putting the iPod into recovery mode and restoring it:

    If that still doens't work, your iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to taken or sent to Apple for service.

    Are you saying that not only do you not know the restrictions passcode, you also don't know the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate this phone?
    If so, you won't be able to do anything with that phone but look at it, & Apple can't/won't help you with this.
