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.

  • How do I find out what the restrictions pass code is

    My son is trying to purchase some additions to a game but when accessing the App Store he is asked for the restriction pass code. However we don't recall setting one up for him and he hasn't been asked for this before. Why? How do we find out what it is?  This is since upgrading to version 5.1.

    If you restricted in-app-purchases in Settings/General/Restrictions, and you don't remember the restriction code anymore to disable the restrictions, you'll have to set up the iPod as new device again, without using the latest backup, the restriction code is part of the backup and can't be changed by restoring the device from a backup that has been taken after the code has been set.

    If there are no restrictions set, the code he is asking for is the iTunes ID password, to be able to purchase and download. If you have forgotten that one, follow this article to reset it:

    If your iPhone is connected to a company Exchange server or otherwise managed by them, they can set and enforce restrictions and set a passcode to keep employees from changing them. If this might apply to you, talk to your company's IT department.

  • I cannot remember my restriction pass code, and I don't know how to retrieve it. Can someone help me, I'm new to this stuff!!

    I set a restriction pass code, and when I tried to use it, it says it's wrong. But I had to put it in 2x so it can't be wrong. And I just set it this morning, so I didn't forget. It just won't let me in.

    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:

    I forgot my ipad restriction pass code now I can't turn it off or delete or install any new software updates if anybody can help me know if there is another way to turn that feature off?

    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.
