URGENT: Changing Restrictions Passcode

I need help changing my restrictions password. I tried going to passwords but that only changes my password to unlock my iPod. If I don't find out soon, I will have to wipe my iPod and start over. HELP!!!

- 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.
- If you are up to it see:

  • Changing restrictions passcode

    When i first bought my iPhone i was just checking out the features on it when i went into the restrictions section. It asked me to set a passcode so i just put in 1234 quickly because i wanted to see what it offered. I now actually want to use that feature but obviously i need to change the passcode. I cant find anywhere that says change your passcode except for the option above in passcode lock, but this is for a different passcode altogether.
    Can anyone help?

    Go to Settings > Restrictions, enter the passcode 1234, and then select "Disable Restrictions". When it asks for the passcode, enter 1234 again.
    Then, tap "Enable Restrictions", and this time enter the passcode you really want.

  • Changing restrictions passcode in iOS

    In iOS 6 or 7 (or 8), how do I change a restrictions passcode without disabling and then reenabling restrictions causing all of the settings to be reset each time?

    Go to Settings > Restrictions, enter the passcode 1234, and then select "Disable Restrictions". When it asks for the passcode, enter 1234 again.
    Then, tap "Enable Restrictions", and this time enter the passcode you really want.

  • Restrictions passcode on iphone 4 changed by IOS 7.0.2?

    I have set a restrictions passcode to both of my daughter's iphones restricting features and functions, one of them being the inability to change account features (like find my iphone - more on that in a moment).
    In trying to disable the restrictions temporarily to install some apps, I have discovered that the passcode is no longer the one that I entered and have been locked out of making these changes. The same restrictions passcode does work on my other daughter's iphone. I have tried over a dozen of different lock codes, working around the failed attempt feature by changing the date and time on the device each time, none of them work.
    I am guessing that somehow the recent upgrade to ios 7 and then 7.0.2 may have been responsible as the phone lock code changed on 3 of my other ios devices one morning without any rhyme or reason shortly after the first ios 7 upgrade. This is another matter that resolved itself after a few hours. weird thing is that it was the same passcode that is giving me trouble on this device now.
    In an attempt to restore the problem phone from a recent backup (dated 9/2013 and preceeding the ios upgrade bs) I was asked to disable the find my iphone feature before it will let me restore from this backup. Unfortunately, since I have set this as a feature on her phone that cannot change without first entering the restrictions passcode I cannot disable this feature at all.
    What the heck???
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your prompt reply diesel vdub.
    Maybe I wasn't clear that I did not actually forget my passcode although I can understand this being the kneejerk response as this seems to be a popular topic on the forums.
    The passcode literally changed to something else.
    Since it is a passcode that I use on my other ios devices and I'm the only one authorized to change it, it is my presumption that some other event occurred and all fingers point to the recent ios 7 upgrades especially given the information shared with me by several of my colleagues that the ios 7 upgrade rebooted their devices with a lock code that never existed prior to the upgrade. I should point out that each person is very competent technically.
    This is a bug perhaps that will be addressed witn ios 7.0.3??

  • Is there any way to change the restrictions passcode?

    Is there any way to change the restrictions passcode short of erasing all content and starting over?

    Remove restriction password
    1. Restore to Factory Default
    2. You can also restore from a backup before you enable the Restriction Code

  • HT5538 If you change your Apple ID, does that add a restrictions passcode?

    If you change your Apple ID, will that add a restrictions passcode?

    No. However, a Restrictions can be set that prevent changing accounts

  • I forgot my restrictions passcode, if I do a restore to new with my phone and change the passcode, can I then backup from a previous restore

    I forgot my restrictions passcode, if I do a restore to new phone in iTunes and change the passcode, can I then backup from a previous restore to put everything back onto my phone.

    No you cannot. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup, and if you restore to a backup that contains the restrictions passcode, you will be right back where you started. Only alternative is to restore the device as new, or if you restore to a backup, it has to be before the restrictions passcode was entered into the phone. However, that could mean that you would be restoring to a date that does not contain all of your data.

  • I know exactly what my restrictions passcode is meant to be (I have even written it down) but it has strangely changed itself. I cannot delete apps anymore.

    I know exactly what my restrictions passcode is meant to be (I have even written it down) but it has strangely changed itself. I cannot delete apps anymore and it has been getting on my nerves. I am worried that I will lose my purchased films and books and my pages documents if I perform a factory restore. What do I do?

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

  • Changing KNOWN restrictions passcode

    I KNOW the restrictions passcode but I suspect that my daughter also knows the code!  How do I change JUST the restrictions passcode without resetting the whole device?

    Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and enter the passcode. Then disable Restrictions . Re-enable Restrictions with a new passcode. I think you have to reset up the Restrictions you want.

  • Never had a restrictions passcode, can't change settings now

    Hi, hoping someone can help figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    I've only just updated my iPad to ios 6 and it now asks me for a restrictions password when i need to change any location settings.
    The previous operating systems I had never had any restrictions passwords and it doesn't accept the only four digit code that I ever use.
    I have restored from scratch and it still asks for a password which I have never set up before.
    How am i supposed to change location settings now if this restrictions passcode that I've never set up won't let me through?
    Any help would be awesome! This has been really, really frustrating and I won't be buying any more Apple products if this stupid issue can't be fixed unfortunately! Sick of it
    Cheers

    Yeah, I'm definitely on the latest and greatest.
    I've also trashed Pref's to no avail. Thanks for the tip on dragging the clip into the L&C window. Very useful. That's why I love this place. Thanks.
    Let me know if you can do that when you get done capturing.
    -Also something else I've noticed. Previously I could also click on the Reel column of a captured clip and change the reel name if I needed to. Since 5.1 I can no longer do this as well. Major pain the butt b/c I have an absent minded shooter that always wants to capture his own footage but never remembers to put his reel names in. In the past I could clean up after him. Now I can't do this.

  • How can I change a restrictions passcode without losing all the restricted settings?

    We have two iPads for two boys... both are heavily restricted.  One of my boys saw the passcode and I changed it by disabling and then re-enabling restrictions, only to be shocked when ALL MY SETTINGS were reverted to default and DIDNT come back after enabling restrictions again.  How can I change the passcode on the other iPad without losing all the settings, especially the long list of blocked websites?
    Thanks in advance.

    What good would the passcode be if you could bypass it like that?

  • I forgot my passcode to change restrictions?

    I forgot my passcode to change restrictions? Do I hve to reset the whole device? How can I not lose all my data?

    If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you must restore the iPad as a new iPad or not from the backup. The restrictions passcode is included with the backup.

  • HT5624 how do i change or find my restrictions passcode if I don't remember it?

    How do I change(or find) my restrictions passcode if I forgot it?

    Hi, klittle24. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.  Make sure to import your photos and manually backup your device prior to processing these steps.

  • HT201304 ? I have forgotten my restrictions passcode and can't make any changes. I have already did a reset with iTunes but it still didn't help. The restrictions lock is still there.

    I set a restrictions passcode and have completely forgotten it. I have tried to reset with iTunes but it just clears out my phone and when I turn it back on its still locked in the restrictions menu. U can't do a reset on your phone without it... So I don't know what to do.. Help!!!

    There is no default code.
    - Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    You have to either:
    - 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
