Q: How can I get around my restrictions passcode because I forgot it?

See the information below which is from About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Click on the link below for more details on how to erase and set up as new.

If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you'll need to erase your device and then set it up as a new device to remove the passcode. Restoring the device won't remove the passcode.

I logged in to 'find my iphone' on another device and used that to remote wipe the iphone, so you don't need the restrictions passcode.
