Q: My celphone has being restricted, how can I get access back???? It asks for a passcode of 4 digits.

Last time I accessed my Iphone 4 I got limitations that i did not set, I cant use siris, safari, facebook, and others. I did not set the restrictions and I am an adult so my parents did not set them. It may be a bad joke from a coworker but hard to know who.

 

I will apeciated

    you can go into settings > general > restrictions to try and edit the restrictions on your device

     

    if you can't you will need to restore your iphone in reccovery mode to clear out the settings

    If you have restrictions enabled, which requires a passcode, the only way to remove that is to restore the phone as new, not from a backup. If the phone locks and requires a 4 digit passcode to open, you would also need to restore the phone as new to remove that passcode, although you will be able to restore to a backup once you have removed that passcode. You cannot restore from a backup if your passcode is for Restictions, as the Restrictions passcode is part of the backup and would be restored as well.
