How to reset forgotten Restrictions password with iPhone restore?

thanksTomjr260 ... your post helped me unlock my iphone 🙂

I tried using iPhone Backup Extractor, but didn't find the entry for PIN. Though the workaround from @Tomjr260Tomjr260 of adding the xml element for the PIN looks promising.

Luckily for me, knowing that I didn't remember adding such a restriction PIN, I tried the code 0000....what do you know...it worked for me. 🙂

I don't know where the 0000 came from, I don't recollect adding that, so guessing some of apple's updates might have enabled this restriction with this 'default' code.

A big thank you to BigBopper66 and MRCoffey for this. Worked a charm.

I have iPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 reset with Win 7.

Thanks again your the best.

I tried this... I only get "error -36" and my iphone blacks out and reboots itself...

I´m going crazy over this.

I cant seem to remember the f*cking code and obviously cant change it

having an 4s with 6.0.1

Thanks. One thing to add, this does NOT require buying the application. You can do this edit and restore with the free version.

Thanks.....it took me a while to figure out just click the "X" box and that notice that came up for name and number just goes away and yes it did work without paying a dime for it!

I worked it out.... Had to reboot and go back to original settings and THEN put in my edited version.

I lost a few apps but otherwise its all there =)

Glad you figured it out. I've never seen that error before.

I too want to massively thank BigBopper66, MRCoffey, other previous related posts and especially Tomjr260 for distilling the answer in an easy to follow setp-by-step guide. THANK YOU! From a very happy iPhone 4, iso 6.01 user, who can now enable iMessages, iCloud and FaceTime and finally communicate with my niece and nephew on their iTouch devices. I am not computer savvy at all and, well, a bit of a technophobe really, and had given up. This was easy peasy! Thanks SO much! 🙂

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS I've DONE.

my mistake That is i restore From itunes / i must do with same application ... and NOW I'm SO GLAAAAAAAAAAAAD THANK YOU TOMJR YOUR a Hero 😀

I had the same issue today after trying to set restrictions to keep my son from deleting apps. After two restores I figured out that I had to go back to a restore point prior to me setting the password. I went back to the date I got my phone. All restrictions were disabled at that point. I enabled them again with a password I'll remember (I hope) and just restored to today's backup point. Think it worked but we'll see.
