What is the restrictions passcode

i am trying to reset my iphone 4 because i have a new one but i can not remember my ristriction passcode could you please help me

No, we can't help you. If you can't remember it, you'll have to restore the phone as a new device in iTunes, or: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings, to remove it.

  • HT201304 what is the restrictions passcode? if i don't know it what should i do?

    i updated my ios from ios5 to ios6.0.1 but i don't know my restrictions passcode. i've never enter restrictions passcode. my phone passcode don't work in restrictions passcode. i need help!

    Is yours a corporate iPhone? If so, your IT department may have some restrictions set.
    If yours is a private iPhone, at some point you did set a restrictions passcode either on that phone or the phone from which you are restoring the backup.  If you don't remember the passcode, the only way to remove it is to restore your phone as a NEW device and not use your backup.

  • HT1212 how do I know what the restrictions passcode is, selling mini ipad and need to erase all content

    selling ipad mini, how do i know what the restrictions passcode is in order to delete all content

    See this article:

    As it says in the notes, "If you lose or forget the restrictions passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it."

  • I don't remember the restrictions passcode, what do I do?

    I don't remember the restrictions passcode, what do I do?
    I don't even remember that I entered a passcode..

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to put your iPad in Recovery Mode

  • I cannot reset my IPad, need to because I forgot the Restrictions passcode I don't remember even setting.

    My App icon disappeared from my desktop, then I discovered the Restrictions passcode had been set, but I don't know what it is.  I tried to reset my IPad but it asks for my Restrictions passcode - which is the whole reason for the reset!!!  Very irritating, any help will be appreciated.

    Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. This will destroy all of your data so your next step is to restore from your backup.

    You have to restore the iPhone as a new device not from a backup unless the backup pre-dated the restrictions passcode

  • Will backing up ipod retain the restrictions passcode?

    We would like to backup the ipod and erase the restrictions passcode, but keep all other settings for games, music, audiobooks, etc. When I restore the ipod to factory settings, but insert the cd to reload the backup, will the restrictions passcode (that we don't know) be reset to factory or the one we don't know?

    I'm assuming you are using an iPod touch and not a classic or nano...
    What exactly are you trying to backup? If you are referring to the backup that iTunes makes as part of the sync process, you are only backing up your settings, game data, etc. You are not backing up your library.
    You mention a CD. All iTunes operations, including backups, are normally written to your hard drive. Where is the CD coming from and what does it contain?
    When you do a restore, a backup is performed first then your iPod is wiped and the firmware reloaded. At this point, you are given the option to a) restore as a new iPod; or b) use the backup. If you restore as new, then everything is reset (including the passcode) but you do lose your settings. After that point, iTunes resyncs your library to your touch.
    As far as backing your library up, you can do that to a CD, DVD, memory stick, or external hard drive. It's a good idea to do that once in a while - especially if you have a large library.

  • What's my restrictions passcode?

    I'm not sure what my restrictions passcode is, and how can I reset my iPod touch?
    I have iOS 6, not sure specifically which version...

    Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
    - 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

  • HT1414 How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

    I forgot the restriction code, I already tryed 9 times and the TIME you have to wait after the fifth try is increased like crazzy.

    That is a security measure. If the device is being tampered with, the longer the "tamperer" has to wait, the more likely they are to become discouraged and give up.
    I think that you get 10 attempts, but I can't swear to that having never been in that position. In any event, you will probably have to restore to factory settings if you want to be able to use the iPad again. You cannot restore from a backup - unless that backup does not have the restrictions passcode in it. If it does not have the passcode in it, then restoring from that backup will eliminate the passcode.
    If you have to restore, you have to use iTunes on a computer, since you cannot get into the settings.

  • 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...

    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.

  • What is a restrictions passcode

    I don't know where to find the restrictions passcode to reset my ipad and return to Apple to repair a cracked screen. This lack of knowing the passcode is holding me up!

    No, there is no "forgot password" link for a passcode set up on the device. That includes the Restrictions function. This shouldn't prevent you from sending the device to apple for repair/replacement service.
