Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help


You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.


Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.


If you don't regularly backup to iTunes, then you will lose your data.
