Jan 9, 2016 5:59 PM in response to gilsonmeloby Sunflwrr629,The instructions from gilsonmelo worked PERFECTLY for me give or take a few hiccups:
- my iPod had insufficient space to restore so I had to delete apps and items but now am in the process of downloading from the cloud
- Wasn't sure how to find the aforementioned code but I searched "springboard" and VOILA!!
Follow this advice:
"After some trial and error, I did the get plist editing solution using iBackupBot tool. A couple notes:
My backup contained two plists named Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist when I opened it in iBackupBot. (For ease in finding them, iBackupBot lets you click on the Path header to sort the files.) The second instance already contained
<key>SBParentalControlsBlockTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate</key>
<real>362258969.244102</real>
<key>SBParentalControlsEnabled</key>
<true/>
<key>SBParentalControlsFailedAttempts</key>
<integer>9</integer>
<key>SBParentalControlsMCContentRestrictions</key>
<dict>
<key>countryCode</key>
<string>us</string>
</dict>
I made the highlighted changes below:
<key>SBParentalControlsBlockTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate</key>
<real>362258969.244102</real>
<key>SBParentalControlsEnabled</key>
<false/>
<key>SBParentalControlsFailedAttempts</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>SBParentalControlsMCContentRestrictions</key>
<dict>
<key>countryCode</key>
<string>us</string>
</dict>
<key>SBParentalControlsPIN</key>
<string>1234</string>
I found that the only way I could make these changes actually transfer to my iPad during restore was to connect my phone to iTunes and wait for it to backup and sync. Then, while still connected to iTunes, I used iBackupBot to edit the backup file. WITHOUT ejecting my iPad, I then started the restore process based on the most recent backup. After the restore, I was able to use the above password (1234) to unlock my restrictions again. Hope this helps."

Feb 26, 2016 7:24 PM in response to gypsychicby Will N too!,Feb 2016 IOS 9.2.1 Same problem is still going on. Apple Care almost convinced me that I'd put a pass code on my iPhone. I thought I'd somehow inadvertently entered a pass code the day I bought the phone, but that's not possible. When I learned that this Pass Code showing up is why I could no longer update Apps and why the App Store icon disappeared, it became clear I had nothing to do with it. I'd installed and upgraded Apps for months prior to this problem showing up.
I will lose important text messages and end up spending hours putting my phone back in order after Restoring the phone to New.
At the moment the Audible App locked up--my main use for my iPhone 6s. I find all of this unacceptable.

What's my restrictions code?
No one here would know that. Only the person who created it would.
