Unless you know the current Restrictions password, you cannot “reset” the password. The only way to remove an existing password that you have forgotten - and restore access to the Restrictions settings - is to “Erase All Content and Settings”:


Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings


This will completely wipe your device. You also need to be aware that any device backups stored in your iCloud account, or iTunes backup on your PC/Mac, will include the Restrictions password; retoring the backup to your device will also restore the Restrictions password that you have lost.


Sorry, but your options are limited. When setting a restrictions password, if you cannot reliably remember it, write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
