Q: Delete iphone5 apps

Hello

 

I'm wanting to delete some apps that have been purchased. I've been told I need to enter a pin code in the restrictions menu. I do not have a pin code for this. Is there a generic pin number I can use to override this ??

 

Regards

Steve

    No. There is no generic restrictions passcode. You, or someone who had physical posession of the phone had to set it. If you don't know what it is, you'll have to put the phone into recovery mode and restore it as a new device.

     

    Do NOT restore your backup. The restriction settings are part of the backup.
