The triple-click home button is not working to get me out of guided access so I am now stuck!

Having the same problem, guided access is running over an app but triple clicking the home button does nothing. This is ridiculous. Any suggestions? Should i wait for it to power off or plug into the mpb and restore?

Hold down the power and home buttons for 3-5 seconds. The system will shut down and restart. Apple Tech Support confirmed this is a known bug for iOS 6.0.1.

this works and you dont loose anything 🙂

I hold in the pover and home buttun but it still pops up "Guided access is enable. Triple-click the home button." And restoring i not working.

Make sure the system restarts after holding down the power and home buttons. You should see the white apple icon appear. After restart is completed, Guided Access should be disabled (until activated again) and the system should ask for the user PIN. To change the Guided Access PIN, go back to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access > Set Passcode. Closing all apps and then restarting will do wonders as well for clearing system cache. To close all apps: double-click the home button to make the running app tray appear; press and hold an app icon in the tray for two seconds, then select the red circle with a minus sign for each app icon until no more app icons appear. Once all apps are closed, hold down the power button for four seconds and swipe the red slider to restart.

perfect! works perfectly!

was fighting with it for more than an hour before finding this thread.
