Will backing up ipod retain the restrictions passcode?

We would like to backup the ipod and erase the restrictions passcode, but keep all other settings for games, music, audiobooks, etc. When I restore the ipod to factory settings, but insert the cd to reload the backup, will the restrictions passcode (that we don't know) be reset to factory or the one we don't know?

I'm assuming you are using an iPod touch and not a classic or nano...
What exactly are you trying to backup? If you are referring to the backup that iTunes makes as part of the sync process, you are only backing up your settings, game data, etc. You are not backing up your library.
You mention a CD. All iTunes operations, including backups, are normally written to your hard drive. Where is the CD coming from and what does it contain?
When you do a restore, a backup is performed first then your iPod is wiped and the firmware reloaded. At this point, you are given the option to a) restore as a new iPod; or b) use the backup. If you restore as new, then everything is reset (including the passcode) but you do lose your settings. After that point, iTunes resyncs your library to your touch.
As far as backing your library up, you can do that to a CD, DVD, memory stick, or external hard drive. It's a good idea to do that once in a while - especially if you have a large library.

Restriction passcode that I didn't set?

I just realized that my ipod has a restriction passcode on it, but I don't remember setting one. I have absolutely no idea what it could be, and I don't want to wipe my ipod. A friend may have set one as a joke, but I don't know who or when. Is there anything I can do? (I don't even know what it's supposed to be restricting)

To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
Restore the Device as New...

OR...
from a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

Ipad forgotten restriction passcode

Hi
I have ipad with ios 7.
I have forgotten my restrictions passcode. (I'm sure I can rememnber it, but it is not accepted)
The only way is to reset ipad, but for that I need the restrictions passcode ... aghhh!
Tried again using itunes. For this I need to turn off "Find my ipad" in icloud on the ipad ... but icloud settings are greyed out , becasue restrictions are "on" , and I have forgotten my passcode .... aghhh again!
Next thing was to use icloud .. use the erase ipad function from my pc. But my ipad is showing as "offline" even though it is connected to the internet. It says it will erase when next connected, but it already is ! Aghhh again !
I wondered if this was because my ipday keeps asking me to accept icloud terms and conditions, but because I have restrcitions on , I cant access icloud settings to accept ! Agggghhh again and again !
Seems that I'm confounded every step .. any help appreciated , otherwise i Have to bin a £600 ipad because a have "forgotten" a 4 digit number
Any help on any of the above so I can reset my ipad and start again will be greatley appreciated
Cheers

How do i reset IPad Mini without restrictions passcode if i'm not connected to Icloud either?

I have an IPad mini, but i can't sync it with Icloud or even connect it because the icon in settings comes up a little faded. I cant reset factory settings because i need the restriction passcode and i have no idea what it is.

You can't access iCloud settings because of the restrictions passcode.
You can try restoring isung recovery mode. you will totally erase the iPad by using recovery mode and you will obviously lose everything on it. I hope that you have a backup.

I have a restriction passcode that I have no idea what the passcode could be. I know that I need to reset the phone to factory settings but how do go about doing this without losing all of my contacts and other info, etc? (mainly contacts)

     At some point, I don't even remember doing this it must have been so long ago, I set a restrictions passcode on my phone. This has become a problem now because I have so many apps that I do not ever use that take up so much space I can no longer take pictures or put more music on the device. I have read that I need to restore to factory settings but that once I do that I cannot restore to a backup because restrictions passcodes are saved in backups. Is there any way for me to restore my phone to factory settings and then get all of my contacts and perhaps as much other data back as I can? I have tried every passcode I can think of for the restrictions passcode (24 times! to the point that ever time I try and fail I cannot try again for an hour. To say the least, this is quite frustrating as is limits what i can do with my phone on a daily basis, whether it be music or taking pictures and videos etc. Can someone please help me solve this problem without losing minimal data? I have already backed the phone up to my computer as well as iCloud. Even the woman at the apple store told me I had to restore it to factory but was too busy to get further into it and I didn't have a genius bar appointment. If all else fails I can make an appointment and go in there. I just thought I may as well ask on here first to see if there was a way I could do it myself. Thanks for reading and hope you can help me!

You can't. Restoring new means everything is erased. If you have a backup made before creating a restriction code, then you can restore that backup, but none later.
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) 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 battery charge warning,
       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:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
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.

How do I reset my restrictions passcode on my iPod touch 4G?

I've been scouring this support site for 3 days. I have attempted many of the suggestions all to no avail. I need to reset the restrictions passcode on my iPod touch 4G as I have forgotten it. The back up I have on my iTunes is very recent and therefore to reset and restore will give me the same problem. Is there any way to reset the passcode if I don't know it? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. If any answers could avoid directing me to other links contained on this site that would be helpful as I've tried all of the solutions listed. iPod touch 4G iOS 6.1.6

Sorry but no. The only way to restore an iPod to factory settings is through iTunes on a computer. You will need to get access to a computer somehow. If you can get to an Apple Store, they can probably help you.
