i have forgoton restrictions password, how do you reset it?
iPad 2
I used 1234 as recommended by another user. I didn’t recall ever setting a PIN for restrictions and now it seems it was set during an up date. I would suggest before resetting phone try the default 1234. Work for me
OK.....Since you're clearly not capable of looking in the thread you responded to, here, just for you, is the answer:

If you don't know the Apple ID, Apple ID Password or Passcode used to set up this phone, the phone is utterly useless to you. You will have get help from whoever you bought the phone from. If you don't know them or can't reach them, there is nothing you can do to use this phone - EVER. Apple will NOT help. We CANNOT help you.

Otherwise, you will need to resotre the iPhone to factory to remove the passcode, and you will not be able to use a backup unless it was made before the screen time passcode as put in place.

Follow the steps in the Apple recommended post at the top of the thread you replied to.
If you forgot your Screen Time passcode, update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS (14) then reset your passcode. If you can’t update your device, erase it and set it up as new to remove the passcode and choose a new one. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode if tge backup was made after the restrictions passcode was put in place.
On iPhone 5s, the restriction passcode cannot be reset. The entire phone has to be erased and NOT set back up from backup.
See this link to learn how to restore your phone, but please remember you cannot set it up from backup when you get back in the phone as that will restore the restrictions passcode which you can't remember.

Asking for a passcode which I don’t have
A passcode for what? when does it ask for it?
If its a restrictions passcode, see the link provided multiple times already and in the Apple Recommended post at the top of every page of the veey thread you replied to. Here it is again: link-> Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If its a screen unlock passcode see here: link-> If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled - Apple Support
Otherwise, explain exactly what is asking for a passcode and when its happening exactly.
You cannot reset a forgotten restriction passcode on iPhone 6. You will need to erase your iPhone using your iPhone with iTunes and this very important, YOU CANNOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP as the restrictions passcode is carried with a backup.
See this link for directions, but once you erase your phone, you can bring things back over like Apps, Messages, etc., via iCloud as long as you sync with iCloud --> If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

We cannot give you your password. Screen Time passcodes are set by you, and only you know them. There is no way for us to give you one.
If you can no longer remember the passcode follow the steps here: click here-> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

What is restrictions code of my iPhone
Nobody can possibly know your restrictions passcode except you or whoever set it. Follow the steps in the link in the Apple Recommended post in the very thread you replied to.

If you forgot your Screen Time passcode, update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS then reset your passcode. If you can’t update your device, erase it and set it up as new to remove the passcode and choose a new one. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode.

I'm trying to erase all data on an old phone that I want to donate. It's asking for a "restriction passcode." No idea what it is. Is there any way I can reset it so I can clear all my data on the phone?
You can either attempt to reset the Restrictions passcode as explained in the support document provided in the Apple recommended post at the top of every page of the very thread you replied to, which says this:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201304
If you forgot your Screen Time passcode, update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS then reset your passcode. If you can’t update your device, erase it and set it up as new to remove the passcode and choose a new one. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode.
Or as suggested erase it and set it up as new. You will need to do this with iTunes / Finder on a computer (Mac or PC), to bypass the restrictions passcode.
Follow the steps in the "Restore your device to factory settings" section in the link titled "erase it and set it up as new" in the text above.
