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

Erase all content and settings is what factory defaults means, you are removing everything from the device and putting back to how it was when it was first switched on (it doesn't remove any iOS version updates, it just removes all of your content). You can either do it directly on the device (though you'll probably need to remember the restrictions passcode), or use recovery mode via a computer's iTunes

I'm sorry but your post doesn't make much sense in English. The lack of punctuation makes it doubly hard to understand.


It is not possible to recover or reset the restrictions passcode. The phone has to be restored.
