Q: I set a restriction code but have forgotten it. Can it be reset somehow?

Is there a way to resent the passcode to restrictions? I am talking of the restrictions in settings just below passcode lock.

Thanks

A:

Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

Not if you have forgotten it.

To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...

1) Restore the Device as New... See Sections 5 and 6 here...

OR...

2) From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....
