Is restriction pass code different to iPad lock code

I just tried to get into restrictions but pass code is wrong..have changed main pass code recently..are they different..can't remember old code..how do I sort out please.?

They are different features with different codes. I recommend using the same code for both features so when you change one, change the other. If you can not remember the code you will have to Restore the iPad as a new iPad setting it up from scratch again. You can try Restoring to a back up although the back up will need to be from before the passcode was set otherwise it will just be set again with the backup.
If you search the net there are other methods of recovering some passwords from iPads although the above method is the easiest.

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.

My iPad is asking me for a restriction pass code but I have never set one so I don't know what it is. I'm trying to reset the device because I have sold it.

Try erasing the device using iCloud.com - assuming that you were using iCloud and the Find my iPhone app on the device.

if that doesn't work, try recovery mode.

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

HT204396 I forgot my restriction pass code anybody knows if there is another way to turn restrictions off

I forgot my ipad restriction pass code now I can't turn it off or delete or install any new software updates if anybody can help me know if there is another way to turn that feature off?

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.

How to recover factory settings w/o "Restrictions Pass Code"?

I wish to give my late wife's iPad to her granddaughter, ...
I wish to restore factory settings -- making it like new ...
I cannot Restore Factory Settings without a 'Restrictions Pass Code' ...
I don't have/don't know a Restrictions Pass Code ...
Online advice says, to reset Restrictions Passcode, "simply restore factory settings."
Well, um, see #3 above.
Can anyone help me out here?
Many thanks!
Stephen

You can try to remember or get the passcode somehow. If not, the only other option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.
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.
 Cheers, Tom

How do I get the restriction pass code off ? I have forgotten the code.

I think you mean a restore to factory defaults/new iPad. See:

HT1414 I have forgot my restriction pass code and can't delete apps to enable me to update software

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.

What to do if I've forgotten restrictions pass code?

what to do if I've forgotten my restrictions pass code. ten failed attempts already.

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.

How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!

If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
Everything on the phone will be lost.
You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it.
