Forgot restrictions passcode on iPhone or iPad

OK.....Still the link provided to you likely won't work on your iPad as the link refers to a new process which released with iPadOS 13.4. Since your iPad is not capable of running that, you will need to use the old method which is to use your home computer to erase your iPad using iTunes and you cannot restore from backup. This is the link you will need to use --> If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

Thanks for the reply and help.

In the end I logged onto iCloud on the web, located my iPad and erased it from there. I then set it up as a new device (no iTunes restore), linked it to my iCloud and iTunes accounts where I got all my apps back. After that from my Macbook I synced music and photos from iTunes and iPhoto, created a new iTunes backup and it worked fine. From having only 1 GB free before the reset I ended up with 16 GB free after everything was restored back. Oh yes, since I set it up as a new device the restriction password is gone.

No one can tell you what your restrictions passcode it. It only resides on your device and no one has access to it. What good would it be if there was a way to recover it by anyone.

You need to read through this thread, the answer has been provided multiple times. You are going to have to restore your device and set it up as new, not using a backup. The backup contains the passcode so restoring a backup would just put it back on.

If you forgot it, you cannot change it. You need to restore the iPad to remove it and set a new one as has been explained many many times over in the very thread you replied to.

Otherwise, if you know the passcode, you can go to Settings->Screen Time->Change Screen Time Passcode and change it there.

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.

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

I can do have a restriction code

Follow the steps provided multiple times in the veery thread you replied to. Including the Apple Suggested post at the very top, and the post just above your own which has this blue text: link-> If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

On iPhone 6 you will need to restore the iPhone to factory condition to remove the restrictions passcode, there is no way tom reset it.

Nobody here can know your restrictions passcode. It is something you set, only stored in the iPhone, so only you would know it. Nobody else, not even Apple has any way off knowing your restrictions passcode.
