Q: Missing camera on iPad mini; locked out of Restrictions
Hi. My camera went missing from my iPad mini. I think it was when I had the screen replaced. Anyway, as I was following instructions from a community member, I found that my restrictions were enabled, but couldn't disable because the passcode had already been tried unsuccessfully 3 times (apparently the limit), and now it is locked. I don't recall trying to unlock it. How do I get past this point? Thanks for any help.
iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 9.2

You will need to restore the device to factory settings. Use Restrictions on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
From above article:
"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 Restrictions passcode. Restoring the device using a backup won't remove the passcode."
