I put a restrictions pass code on my iPad and forgot the password. I tried to reset it to factory settings but that means I lose all my purchases and I don't wanna lose $ 25 worth of purchases. I tried restoring it but brings back restrictions code....

How do I get rid of the restrictions pass code but keep my apps?

You won't lose purchases. They can be downloaded to your iTunes library on your computer and backed up.
You can also redownload your purchases directly from your iPad after the restore by signing into the iTunes and App stores with your Apple ID:
Open iTunes Store app > Purchased
Open App Store app > Purchased

    You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
    ACTIVATION LOCK
    It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:

    Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

    FYI, typing in all caps indicates shouting, is generally considered rude, and is difficult to read.
    Many simply do not read posts in all caps.
    AS provided, you will need to restore the ipod from the computer to which it is normally synced.

    The iCloud backup does not include non-Tunes purchased music and photos that were synced to the iPod. The iCloud backup does not also included a few other things included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does also not included non-iTunes purchases and photos synced to the iPod.
    free programs like iFunBox with copy non-iTunes purchased music and some other things from iPod to computer.  A paid program like TouchCopy is needed to copy photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

  • How do you elimanate the restriction Passcode on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?

    How do you eliminate the "Restriction Passcode" on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?
    I have done a backup and I have done a Restore and I still have the Restriction Passcode On.
    My main objective is to wipe out this phone to manufactures specifications.

    I had the same problem with my iPhone 5C. After trying several YouTube solutions involving CopyBot, which did not work, I finally figured out how to get rid of the restrictions passcode.
    1. Back up your phone to icloud. You will want to be sure you have synced your phone to your laptop as well to access your contacts and photos again.
    2. Make sure you have "Find my Phone" activated on your phone.
    3. On a laptop or other device, go to www.icloud.com/#find.
    4. Login and after the site finds your phone's location, click on the "All Devices" arrow and select your phone.
    5. Select Erase iphone. You will see it erasing on your phone. Don't panic!
    6. When your phone restarts, it will take you through the setup process. YOU WANT TO SET IT UP AS A NEW PHONE! If you restore a backup you will still have the passcode in play.
    7. During the set up, your phone should automatically restore your contacts; however, you may need to upload your photos and music manually.
    8. The restrictions passcode will no longer be on your phone! You will need to download your purchased apps again. This is a bummer, but at least you got past the restrictions passcode.
    I know this worked for the 5c, I can only assume it will work for all versions of the iphone, but I am not an expert.

  • I forgot the password to turn restrictions off. Any suggestions?

    I forgot the password to turn the restrictions lock off. Help!

    Try hard to remember it!  There is no way to recover from a Restrictions Password lockout (unless you have a backup from before you set the Restrictions password).  In order to remove the Restrictions password, you must restore your iPod to Factory Settings.  Everything on the iPod will be wiped, but you can redownload your purchased apps for free.
