restrictions are on and i don't know the passcode

Some how my restrictions are on and i didn't turn them on and no one messes w/ my phone and I don't know the passcode and I've attempted twice to figure it out but am afraid to get locked out of my phone so how do i turn it off if I don't have the passcode?

Failed passcode attempts does lock you out but I'm not sure about restrictions passcodes, or how many failed attempts would trigger it. I also don't see how iCloud could set a restrictions passcode on your phone, unless you restore from his iCloud backup. Unless someone else here knows you may want to go see someone at the genius bar at a nearby Apple store to get more definitive answers. (Be sure to make an appointment first.)

Lord, that's like 45 minutes away and I called Apple earlier this evening and the guy was all like I'll send you a link to give you some options to fix it. Ya, the link was their website which I had already looked through a few times. I have no idea if I would have backed up to his at any given time. We have like 5 devices and only 3 are named correctly. So frustrating.
