You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

    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:

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

  • 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.

  • I cannot remember my restriction pass code, and I don't know how to retrieve it. Can someone help me, I'm new to this stuff!!

    I set a restriction pass code, and when I tried to use it, it says it's wrong. But I had to put it in 2x so it can't be wrong. And I just set it this morning, so I didn't forget. It just won't let me in.

    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:

  • 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!

    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.

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

  • 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

  • HT1414 forgot restrictions pass code, how do you reset?

    I forgot the restrictions pass code for my sons iTouch.  I tried using the restore function like it said in some help discussions, but that did not work.  ( hooked up to the computer, did restore to factory settings, then uploaded the apps again to his iTouch).  No change when I go the restrictions tab under general settings.  It still asks for the pass ode which of course I can't remember.......
    Thanks!

    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • 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.
