TA38641 how do i know the restriction passcode?

I want to enable restriciotn in settings, but it is asking for a passcode which i don't know

If the restrictions was off and you want to enable it. You can put any number you like. (Just don't forget the numbers you are using).
But you have restrictions on and you want to disable it and you forgot the passcode then you have to restore either from backup using iTunes or as new.

  • How do I reset the RESTRICTIONS Passcode on iPhone 4s

    My teenager got to this before I did!
    How do I reset the Restrictions Passcode on his iPhone?
    Will this even work to restrict web content?
    I could swear that I remember being able to do this via iTunes when the phone was plugged in, but that functionality doesnt seem to be there.
    I see that I can restrict adult material (songs, R movies and etc) on all phones on the account via iTunes, but I dont see how to customize every individual phone on the account with different restrictions...
    Help...
    thank you

    Is it not possible to have a reminder sent to the account holder (ie:me) to reset, like when a passord for anything thing else is forgotton?    Just dread wiping the whole thing and re-setting up...... 
    Also, do you know if it controls web access?  I seem to remember and itunes content and volume control on the last parental control I used on an iphone, but that was atleast a year ago on a 3GS.
    Thx again

  • How do you elimanate the restriction Passcode on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?

    How do you eliminate the "Restriction Passcode" on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?
    I have done a backup and I have done a Restore and I still have the Restriction Passcode On.
    My main objective is to wipe out this phone to manufactures specifications.

    I had the same problem with my iPhone 5C. After trying several YouTube solutions involving CopyBot, which did not work, I finally figured out how to get rid of the restrictions passcode.
    1. Back up your phone to icloud. You will want to be sure you have synced your phone to your laptop as well to access your contacts and photos again.
    2. Make sure you have "Find my Phone" activated on your phone.
    3. On a laptop or other device, go to www.icloud.com/#find.
    4. Login and after the site finds your phone's location, click on the "All Devices" arrow and select your phone.
    5. Select Erase iphone. You will see it erasing on your phone. Don't panic!
    6. When your phone restarts, it will take you through the setup process. YOU WANT TO SET IT UP AS A NEW PHONE! If you restore a backup you will still have the passcode in play.
    7. During the set up, your phone should automatically restore your contacts; however, you may need to upload your photos and music manually.
    8. The restrictions passcode will no longer be on your phone! You will need to download your purchased apps again. This is a bummer, but at least you got past the restrictions passcode.
    I know this worked for the 5c, I can only assume it will work for all versions of the iphone, but I am not an expert.

  • HT1212 how do i restore the restricted passcode in iphone 5

    How do i restore the restricted passcode in iphone 5

    Hi, SAVREET.
    Thank you for the question.  If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.  Below, I have included the article that walks you through the restore process.

    Make sure to import all media, pictures and personal data to your computer prior to a restore. 
    Regards,

  • HT1414 how can I remove the restriction passcode without having to reset device

    how can I remove the restriction passcode without having to reset device

    Put in the restrictions passcode, and then Disable Restrictions.
    Otherwise, you can't.  That's the ENTIRE purpose of a passcode lock.

  • How do you reset your iPod Touch 5th Gen if you do not know the restrictions password?

    I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation and i need to reset it because i am having issues with it not loading basically anything since i did the update. I don't know the restrictions passcode so i was wondering if there was any way to reset it without the password.

  • How can i retrieve my restrictions passcodes on my 3 apple devices without have to restore them to the factory settings?

    I have 3 apple devices  an IPad Air/ iPhone5 and iphone4s they all currently running the IOS 8.3 and my question is:
    How can I retrieve the restrictions passcodes in all of them without have to restore them all back to the factory settings ?
    I have all the backups in my Icloud , but if I do that they all will come back to the same settings I have now which includes the same passcodes I don't remember. I had all my passwords and passcodes saved before, but I cant find them.
    looking forward to hear from one of you out there...
    Thank you!

    There's no way around restoring the device as new if you cannot remember your restrictions password.  If there were, it would make having a restriction password useless.

    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.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

    I've forgotten the restrictions passcode I set on my iPod. Since I don't want to perform a complete systems reset just yet, I want to try to attempt remembering my passcode... how many times can I try the restrictions passcode without permanently locking it?

    This is for the restrictions passcode correct? Not the regular passcode....
    And I heard somewhere that if you guess too many times, you will be permanently locked out of your device...

    I need to erase all Contents and Settings from my i phone 5 but I forgot the restrictions passcode. How can I get it. ( Idon't have access to i tunes). Thanks.

    Not possible.  You need access to iTunes.
    The passcode will be required to make changes to these settings or to disable Restrictions. Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
