iOS 7 forgot restrictions passcode

I won't be a jerk as you're opting to be but must state that I have no idea who you are nor do you know who I am. I, not you, live my life and know for certain of what my "personal" actions have or have not been.

gilsonmelo,

...just wanted to say thanks for sharing. This worked for me with a slight modification...I changed the 'integer' tag beneath "SBParentalControlsFailedAttempts" to a 'string' tag. It wasn't until this change (after 7 failed attempts) that the backup to consider the "1234" passcode was successful.

Additionally, to anyone having issues after making this change, you may have made the same error that I made...you must delete the "SBParentalControlsCapabilities" key and the entire array immediately beneath (including string tags).

if you forgot your restrictions passcode the way to reset it is you will need

a old iphone. Then go on itunes and back up your iphone ( the one you forgot

the restrictions passcode) then restore it. after reset your old iphone and put your

other iphone's backup in it. Note: put your pictures in your pc's doc's or a folder in your pc.

after setup ur iphone and don't put your apple id on it.Then connect your iphone to the pc and import ur pics

and then copy ur contacts from your old iphone or import ur contacts to your iphone. And there you go.

Hope this works for you 🙂

Thanks sooooo much!!! This worked perfectly with no loss of data. I used it to save my daughter's iPod with all if her apps saved data intact. Thanks again

Gilsonmelo rules! Thanks

Works perfectly as per gilsonmelo.

Just a clarification. The file is located at System Files\HomeDomain\Library\Preferences for iOS 7.0.4

This absolutely worked for me.

One Major Note: When you RESTORE, you are restoring from iTunes using your most recent Backup. iTunes is unaware that we edited the backup file as gilsonmelo noted, but you DO NOT want to restore using iBackupBot; I had it hang/crash too often when I realized we need to Restore from iTunes. This has helped me tremendously.. Now if I could just figure out why my Siri only works (can hear me) when I'm using a headset vs talking directly to the phone.. Anyone know?

Mine was 0000 - maybe that's the generic code? I don't remember setting it.

Lol it is astupid idea it can't work yl3n abookoo

that whats happened to me i desabled my ipad it said that it was done and then it wont turn on

this one worked for me. Thanks a million

I'm trying to wipe my old 4s after upgrading so have no sim and was locked out with this stupid passcode and unable to locate through icloud.. I have reset the 4s through ITunes and now I can't go into the 4s because a sim is required.. so does that mean my 4s has been successfully wiped and I can now sell it without worry about the buyer getting my info? Sorry I'm pretty clueless with this.

Hello Gilson,

I tried all this on my Iphone 7.0.4 but didnt work. 😟 😟 😟

I had restricted my facetime and now the restriction code wont work. here is my spring plist info.

<key>SBParentalControlsBlockTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate</key>

<real>411706655.42461699</real>

<key>SBParentalControlsBlocked</key>

<false/>

<key>SBParentalControlsEnabled</key>

<true/>

<key>SBParentalControlsFailedAttempts</key>

<integer>25</integer>

<key>SBParentalControlsMCContentRestrictions</key>

<dict>

<key>countryCode</key>

<string>us</string>

</dict>

<key>SBPrototypeSettingsNeedsMigration</key>

<true/>

<key>SBRecentDisplays</key>

<array>

I tried different passcodes and now its asking me to wait 1440 minutes. I did try the date and time tip and kept trying new codes but no luck.

additionally, I tried changing the restrictionpassword plist from another post by MillValleyiMacG5.

Making the following changes (in bold) to the restrictedpassword.plist changed my key to 1234:

...

<dict>

<key>RestrictionsPasswordKey</key>

<data>

IxxWEBikzuZi33zUqCBnAcWAavk=

</data>

<key>RestrictionsPasswordSalt</key>

<data>

aSbUXg==

</data>

</dict>

This must be repetitive but can you please guide me on this as well. Many thanks.

Mina
