You can’t reset it other than by erasing it and setting it up as new. You will have to restore to factory settings and start all over again. Restoring a backup will also restore the restrictions passcode.


Ignore the section about creating a backup to save your data and settings in this support article.

Some of this is an alternative presentation of what Demo posted, with some additional information:


If you are running a system prior to iOS 13.4, read this Apple Support document about what to do "If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled". Click here then select your device type if necessary --> http://support.apple.com/HT204306 - Also has links for what to do for an iPad or an iPod touch.


This will erase the device. You can restore your device from a backup but the backup has to date from before you set the forgotten passcode or it too will be restored.


On the contingency you are asked for your Apple ID and password AND you have forgotten those:
