iOS 7 forgot restrictions passcode

Th recovery procedure using iBackupBot worked for me. One change I had to make was I had:

<key>SBParentalControlsBlocked</key>

<false/>

<key>SBParentalControlsEnabled</key>

<true/>

To use the solution that worked for everyone else, I removed:

<key>SBParentalControlsBlocked</key>

<false/>

So happy for this post...i tried "re-remembering" my passcode 37 times until I found this post.

Hi there,

I had the same problem everyone here seems to be having. I did exactly as you instructed only now my device can't be activated. It says :"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support"

When I connect the phone to the laptop it doesn't help. iTunes says the sim is pin blocked and I have to unblock it before proceeding. I can't even get the phone far enough in the procedure to enter the pin code.

I can get hold of Apple because everything on their website is contactable through the phone.

I need help here. This is a very expensive paperweight!

I did that but now my phone won't reactivate.

Help

i think you should plug your ipad and and hold your home button and power button then when the apple icon comes let go

you can put it in recovery mode then get out of it then it will reactivate.

( HOW TO PUT YOUR PHONE INRECOVERY MODE: first hold your home button and power button then when the apple icon let go then when the connect to itunes sign come hold the home button and power button again then it will reactivate)

hi if you still need help check my view

You just forgot. When a variable is set, it doesn't change itself.

Are you just trolling, or do you have something constructive to add?

While a variable won't "change itself", any number of software functions could be written to change it, without requiring any user input.

Not a troll at all. I'm just stating a fact. The device didn't set or change anything, anyone with this issue just simply did not pay attention when they did the setup and forgot it.

You're actually simply stating your hypothesis, for which you have no evidence to support. So here's another hypothesis for you. The evidence suggests you're either:

1) A Troll

or

2) An idiot

I wouldn't normally take the troll bait, but I feel it's important for the sanity of others on this thread to highlight the "fact" (which can be consistently reproduced in experiment) that it's possible to set/reset the code using the HELPFUL plist edit method documented in this thread and then have this same code (which can be read from your own computer screen therefore unlikely to be simply forgotten) not accepted directly after a settings reset. It's not therefore too much of a quantum leap to hypothesise that something in the iOS code causes either a random or blank restrictions passcode to get set during the upgrade from iOS 6 to 7.

I can't of course verify this as I don't have access to Apple's source code, but then neither, I suspect, do you.

Whatever you think .

This whole thing is a major fuckup...I am sorry for my language but having this issue is really frustrating me..spent hours on figuring this out...and seeing the high amount of people struggling with all these makes me totally disappointed about Apple in general....
