Q: restrictions passcode

I was asked for a restrictions passcode prior to erasing the content of my old phone but I cant recall it because it is not the same of my password to unlock the phone. What can I do?

iPhone 4S, iOS 9.1, reset

if you dont remember the restriction password or passcode you need to just restore your device as new from iTunes in recovery (dfu) mode
