Restriction password retrieval

HELP! we put a restriction password on my sons ipod 4 and of course almost 2 years later we cant remember it!
We want to do one of two things....restore the ipod back to factory settings and pass on to our younger child, or - reassess the restrictions we had on there, but of course, we cant do either without the password! How do we retrieve it? Ive tried about 5 different possiblities, and making some up, and now we have been locked out for an hour.
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. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. . Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.   
- If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7

    This question is asked so often, I'm convinced many are kids trying to get around the restrictions their parents have set. :-)

  • 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.

  • After restoring my phone as New, how do I get my contacts and data back without the restrictions password

    I forgot my restrictions password so I restored my Iphone as a New phone.  Now, how do I get the contacts, apps and other data back on the Iphone? Can I restore my contacts & data without it also requiring a restrictions password again?

    Thanks for replying.  I had to do this process in order to get ICloud activated so I don't have it there.  I do have an external backup of the Itunes library, but it sounds like that would also restore the restriction password that I don't know.
    Why would ICloud be different (if I had backed up there?) Does it only save data?
    And It sounds like I need to keep my contacts in another source .... such as? ...  No, I don't use email much and my contacts arec the phone numbers I've captured in my phone.  After I have them backed up to ICloud, do I also need to make sure they are somewhere else to where I won't run into losing them again?
    appreciate your experience and help.

    If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • I have an iPhone 4 and I forgot the restrictions password.

    On my iPhone 4 I can't remember the restrictions password but I want Safari back.  I tried restoring the whole phone, but after re-downloading ios 6.1.3it said I couldn't restore it.  So I want to know if updating to ios7 will allow me to reset the restrictions password or to turn restrictions off again, or if there's any way to restore the phone (I've done it with my iPod touch without a problem, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't let me do it with the iPhone).
    Thanks!

    Normally you have to perform a reset as a new device, losing all data when forgetting the restrictions passcode.  However this might give you some ideas:

    As Ana said,
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • HT4946 I have an ipad gen 3 and forgot my "restrictions" password. How can fix?

    I have reset my ipad to the factory settings and was able to reset the restrictions pw.  I then restored my ipad from a backup but it also restored my password(s). 
    1) Can I make a backup and NOT include backing up the "settings" such as password?
    2) Can I somehow simply reset my restrictions password?
    3) other?
    I'm okay if all the settings go away ... but I want to ensure that I keep my data/itunes/etc.
    Thanks.

    If the restrictions passcode was on the iPad when the backup was taken (which it appears to be if it's there when you've restored) then you won't be able to use that backup - a restore is all or nothing.
    Whilst the restore is still on the iPad you can copy important documents, notes, photos off the iPad e.g. via file sharing, transfer via your wifi network, dropbox, email, depending upon what the apps support. Things like your music, films, TV shows, and the actual apps (just their content/settings are included) aren't included in a backup, the restore picks them up from your iTunes library.

  • How do you recover your restrictions password

    I want to recover my restrictions password without restoring it back to factory defalt settings

    Phily. That is not try as reported by many users. Restoring from backup does restore the Restrictions Passcode
    The following also states:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)
    It appears that the Users Guide is misleading or it does not apple to the Restrictions Passcode.
