iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Learn how to use iTunes to restore your iOS device.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Back up your device.
Transfer and sync content to your computer.
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
Click Restore.
After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
If needed, restore your device from a previous backup.
If restoring does not finish successfully or if a restore error appears, see iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages.
Additional Information
If your device is continually restarting, not responding, or showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, place the device into recovery mode and try restoring again.
Devices with cellular service should activate after a restore. If activation is not successful, see this article.

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.

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.

What do I do to get into restrictions if I forgot my restrictions pass code

I have forgotten my restrictions password what do I do?

You will have to restore from a backup made before you created the restrictions password. The restrictions password is saved as part of a backup so you have to go back to before the restrictions. Or else restore to factory condition and then reinstall apps you have purchased/downloaded and setup all of the account information for things like Mail, etc.

I forgot the restriction pass code in my I pad, now unable to use various applications

forgot restriction passcode

The only way around that is to do an erase of all content and settings and then restore from a backup that predates when the restrictions code was added. Unlike the lock passcode, the restrictions passcode is stored as part of the backup of the iOS device.
SeeiTunes: About iOS backups for where iTunes keeps the backups for different operating systems.

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.

HT201269 Forgot my restrictions pass code!! Help!

How do you retrieve restrictions pass code if you forget?! New device and number due to switching phone carrier and restored from iTunes but having major issues! Seems to have me logged in on both devices and after 3 hours at retail store still no changes! Help!

You cannot retrieve the restrictions passcode. If you have forgotten it, then you can only restore the phone as new. The passcode is in the backup so restoring from a backup will only put it back.

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.

What to do if I've forgotten restrictions pass code?

what to do if I've forgotten my restrictions pass code. ten failed attempts already.

If you can't remember the restrictions code then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

You will have to restore your phone as a NEW device, not using backup at all (unless the backup predates the implementation of the restriction password).
