Restriction pass code locked

my 4 year old has pass code locked us out in the restrictions tab. He does not remember the code and we are know unable to access the iTunes or app stores. anyone have a solution?

To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
1)  Restore the Device as New...  See Sections 5 and 6 here...

OR...
2)  From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT1766 How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, when 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?

    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.

  • How do I find out what the restrictions pass code is

    My son is trying to purchase some additions to a game but when accessing the App Store he is asked for the restriction pass code. However we don't recall setting one up for him and he hasn't been asked for this before. Why? How do we find out what it is?  This is since upgrading to version 5.1.

    If you restricted in-app-purchases in Settings/General/Restrictions, and you don't remember the restriction code anymore to disable the restrictions, you'll have to set up the iPod as new device again, without using the latest backup, the restriction code is part of the backup and can't be changed by restoring the device from a backup that has been taken after the code has been set.
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If there are no restrictions set, the code he is asking for is the iTunes ID password, to be able to purchase and download. If you have forgotten that one, follow this article to reset it:

    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.

    2. You can restore from a backup that was done before you enable the Restriction Code.

  • HT201304 I forgot my restriction pass code , how do I retrieve it or change it?

    I have forgotten my restrictions pass code.  How do I retrieve my pass code or how can I change it.  Thanks

    There is no way to retrieve it. You have to restore to factory settings.
    Restoring from a backup will simply restore the restrictions passcode that you cannot remember - unless in the unlikely event that you have a backup that predates the restrictions passcode, then you could restore from that backup.

  • How to turn off Pass Code lock

    I am using Google Apps.  I setup my iPhone 4s Mail account following these instructions, http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740.  As instructed I used the Microsoft Exchange account.  Later I set up a pass code and turned Pass Code lock ON.  Mail works perfectly, however I am not given the choice to turn Pass Code lock Off.  I do not believe Microsoft Exchange requires Pass Code Lock as I setup another user's iPhone 4s the same way, but never activated Pass Code Lock.  (On this phone I still have the option of setting up a Pass Code and turning it on.)
    I would like to be able to turn off Pass Code Lock.

  • I have entered the wrong numbers to put my phone in pass code lock.  However, I didn't set the autolock....how can I get the pass code lock reset?

    I have entered the wrong numbers to put my phone in pass code lock.  However, I didn't set the autolock....how can I get the pass code lock reset?

    Your only choice is to place the phone in DFU mode (search Google for instructions) and restore as a new device.  You will lose all your data.
