Feb 18, 2013 12:36 PM in response to Tomjr260by boysnwells,Tomjr260 - after many attempts of trying to remember / unlock the restrictions code on my iphone your post finally helped. iOS 6.1.1 meant that the other suggestions would not work and your simple step-by-step instructions saved me! Thanks so much!

Feb 20, 2013 10:12 PM in response to Tomjr260by suannp,Thanks so much Tomjr260 for this "walk-through". I was nervous about fooling with the codes, but I figured I had nothing to lose. At best it would work, at worst I would have to start from scratch.
It was the best! This time, I'll write my restriction code down. (I need it to keep my pesky kid safe.) Two thumbs up!

Feb 21, 2013 5:04 AM in response to suannpby Lawrence Finch,Of course, your kids can read this forum also. Or find the instructions elsewhere on the Internet. Which is the general problem with any security system that has a "back door".

Feb 22, 2013 11:26 AM in response to Tomjr260by LAAkeFly,Follow these directions provided by Tomjr260- Great job, THANK YOU!
1) Download iBackupBot [http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm]
2) Backup iPhone/iPod/iPad to iTunes
3) Close iTunes (leave your device plugged in to your computer)
4) Open iBackupBot
5) Select your backup from the left column
6) Navigate to "Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist" (there may be two files named this; try them both) and double-click to open
7) If the backup is from iOS 4.X or lower then you should be able to find "<key>SBParentalControlsPIN</key>" somewhere in this file and your passcode will be below this line.
If your backup is iOS 5 or higher, then continue on.
8) Look for and change the string for "SBParentalControlsFailedAttempts" to 0
9) Add in "<key>SBParentalControlsPIN</key>
<string>1234</string>" (without the quotes)
After
"<dict>
<key>countryCode</key>
<string>us</string>
</dict>"
10) Click save
11) Close out of that file
12) Click restore backup/file to iPhone/iPod Touch (the icon of an iPhone and a blue arrow) located under the menu bar in iBackupBot
13) After restore is done and phone restarts the password should be 1234.

Feb 26, 2013 2:12 PM in response to BigBopper66by Piusfelix,I used BigBopper66's soluition on a Win 7 Machine.
I used iBackupBot trial and the free PLIST editor you can download
from http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
Followed the instructions and it wored PERFECTLY!
You saved me having to reconfigure this iPad.
Thanks!

Feb 28, 2013 9:51 PM in response to jjkboswellby timeout2relax,Hi All
Tomjr260 it seems that iBackupBot for Mac free trial now blocks using their program to do this. When I tried it today they said I had to pay for their program. I can't remmeber the exact wording but would allow me to save the changes you have suggested. Unless I am doing something wrong.
Any suggestion?
Thanks so much

Mar 1, 2013 12:13 PM in response to jjkboswellby rachsaf,When i try restoring it keeps saying error-36 why is this happening?

Your antivirus or firewall is stopping the update to protect you. Try disabling them.

Mar 1, 2013 2:00 PM in response to rachsafby Piusfelix,I found that iBackupBot free version could not restore the device.
However you can edit the PLIST with the free PLIST editor,
then import it into the backup file using iBackupBot.
Then use iTunes to restore the device from the now edited
backup. This worked for me two days ago with the most
recent trial version of iBackupBot.
