iOS 7 forgot restrictions passcode

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.

mine will not erase because it is not conneted to the internet is there another way?

I just updated to iOS 7 on my 4s and encountered the restrictions passcode, which I didn't have turned on previously. I tried the various passcodes offered here to unlock it (0000,1234,5555) without any luck. However, I tried the VERY FIRST PASSCODE I ever used on this phone and it worked!

I didn't have to wipe the phone or anything, I was able to unlock it with that original passcode. I hope this works for others too.

I had been going through all the springboard.plist changes and resetting my iPad repeatedly, I entered your code and was able to use the '1234' passcode to turn off restrictions. Thank you! I can finally purchase magazines for my iPad again.

I tried restoring my iPad using the changes suggested by both gilsonmelo and MillValleyiMacG5. After restore, I am able to use the '1234' passcode to access Restrictions and disable it. However, when I leave Settings and then come back, Restrictions has been magically turned on again and no passcode that I know will work.

Any suggestions?

I cant reset my iphone beacuse of the restriction code? My brother have forgotten the code, i dnt know what to do :(

Basically all you have to do is go and reset it to factory settings

If you are not concerned with retrieving your data and you just want back in, this helped me.... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

HELLO FRIENDS,

IF U R HAVING ANY PROBLEM WITH RESTRICTION PASSCODE AFTER UPDATING TO IOS7 , THEN TRY USING PASSCODE "1234".

THIS WILL HELP YOU ALL 100%.

THANKS AND DO REPLY IF IT SOLVES UR PROBLEM.

Passcode 1234 does not work for me

Thank you, gilsonmelo, for sharing your fix for this. It worked perfectly for me.

For those who are having trouble finding the correct path (as I did initially), be sure that in iBackupBot you are clicking on the + in front of the device name in the top left-hand "Backups" panel, as opposed to the bottom "Devices" panel. For me the path was Device Name-->System Files-->HomeDomain-->Library-->Preferences, and from there I searched for "springboard" to find the com.apple.springboard.plist file.

Gilsonmelo's instructions that I followed are in the sixth post on this page: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5321819?start=15&tstart=0

you're welcome minnemom. Glad it helped you too!!!
