iOS 7 forgot restrictions passcode

How do you get to this page because I can't seem to find it?

This didn't work for me 😟

And when I just went back into ibackupbot it shows my device twice with duplicate information? Doh, I feel like I proably didn't have any business being in there, but thought I'd give it a shot anyways...Any suggestions?

THANK YOU!

God bless you GILSONMELO

One thig to add... (this worked great btw). I tried for hours to get my iPad to restore with the edited information, but it would not transfer my new info. I finally tried this and it worked! -- After you edit the info in iBackupBot, you save it in the upper left corner, then you hit "restore" from this software, NOT in iTunes. You do need you iPad/ iPhone connected to iTunes, but the way it transfers is from the software. Once it rebooted my restrictios page was back to "0" attempts and i entered "1234" and was back in business! Thanks for this tip!! 🙂

U are a life saver

After followed the instruction, managed to access the restriction.

However in the iTunes I got following message "iTunes could not restrore the iPhone because the iphone disconnected"

Delete my old backup from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946

Solved my issue.

I am able backup and restore.

I love this community 😍

I'm having the same issue with ipad4. I have downloaded, backed up in iBackupbot, made the changes to the file,saved the file, but am having trouble getting the restore to my ipad. I dont have an iphone to plug in. So frustrated! I've put in recovery mode but still unable to restore from iBackupbot. Please help!!😢

I never installed a restricted password. But I inadvertently turned the restrictrd lock on without using a password.

Then I could not turn it off without a password I never set up.

I tried my current screen lock password and it wasn't accepted.

I discovered through trials of a few password, that the restricted password is the same as screen password that was active at the moment IOS7 was installed.

I changed mine after IOS7 and promply forgot the old one.

After several tries, success.

The restricted password screen was unlock with my old IOS6 screen password.

Now does anyone know how to change the restricted password?

I tried to use this method, but when I try to save the file it shows me this error:

How can I solve this?

...... does anyone know how to change the restricted password?

in my device at least: if you disable first the restrictions (inside "Restrictions") the ipad forgets the password and if you later activate the restrictions the device will ask you to provide a (new) password ...

It seems like somewhere between 7.0 and 7.0.4, they introduced a new resource (located in in the same folder as springboard.plist) called com.apple.restrictionspassword.plist. This holds a key with encrypted values and the OS now seems to ignore the entry in springboard.plist (and deleting the restrictedpassword.plist resource doesn't seem to do the trick either).

I put a restriction code on another iphone to see if I copied these over to the original one with the lock, the key would also be transfered. And it seems to work!

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>

Hope this helps and good luck.

Yes, me too. It's so annoy

Oh this HAS to be a bug, not a forgotten password!

I just tried this to sort out my wifes iPhone 4 (I was blaming her for forgetting what she set her restrictions code as), and I found the com.apple.restrictionspassword.plist file so I tried the encrypted info you gave, but after the restore, it was actually the code I entered in com.apple.springboard.plist under SBParentalControlsPIN that was the code that allowed my to access the restrictions section in settings and turn Restrictions off.

HOWEVER as soon as I went to Settings>Reset>Reset All Settings (which is what I was trying to do in the first place after I read it may help to speed up the dog slow response of iOS7 on the iPhone 4) I was asked again for the Restrictions Passcode (even though I'd turned Restrictions off at this point) and sure enough, neither the correct code nor 1234 would work! Again!!!

Now restrictions is switched back on again and I can no longer access it.

Somehow I think the settings reset is wiping the restrictions code, then resetting restrictions (defaulting?) to ON. Since there's no SBParentalControlsPIN entry any more to match to, you can never have the correct code.
