Forgot restrictions passcode on iPhone or iPad

Tikara_NZ,

I found the file, and although it says "<integer>0</integer>", it still thinks it needs a Restrictions Password... something of note: my 6-Plus previously had NetNanny installed, before we got frustrated with all of its false-positives, and later discovered that our PC install from the OFFICIAL SITE had low-detection malware imbedded into it (which I am proud to say got totally nuked by yours truly), ruining NN's trustworthiness. Obviously, we got rid of it on every device it had been put on, although I might not have been thorough enough, possibly leaving some NN files behind (no, it's not jailbroken, at least not yet. I'm just good enough with computers to utterly obliterate most kinds of files and programs, and NOT good enough with IOS and OSX to do it properly when using anything but Windows 😝)... sooo, that might have something to do with it, since NetNanny likes to disable Safari and put the device into something reminiscent of being a Windows Vista standard user account (being able to do Jack-Crap with settings and override procedures)... Anyways, if their is a way I could potentially overwrite the Restrictions Password manually using an edited backup?

You change it by typing in the existing passcode and selecting a new code.

If you can't remember it, if you have a backup taking when it wasn't on you can restore to that ; if not reset the iPad back to factory defaults (after copying off anything that you want to keep) to remove it

If you can't remember the current code either restore to a backup that was taken when the code wasn't on the iPad, or if you don't have such a backup reset the iPad back to factory defaults to remove (after copying off anything that you want to keep).

If you can't remember it, restore to a backup if was taken when the code wasn't on the device, or reset back to factory defaults if you don't have such a backup (after copying off anything that you want to keep)

If you can't remember it restore to a backup if was taken when the code wasn't on the device, or reset back to factory defaults if you don't have such a backup (after copying off anything that you want to keep)

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

Do you not know anybody (e.g. friend or family member) with a computer ? As well as using a computer's iTunes, and if the phone is online, you could try logging into http://www.icloud.com on a computer's browser, or Find iPhone app on another iOS device, and sending a remote wipe message to it.

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.

If you can't remember it restore to a backup if was taken when the code wasn't on the phone, or reset back to factory defaults if you don't have such a backup (after copying off anything that you want to keep)

It will be whatever you, or whoever has used the device, set it to. If you can't remember it restore to a backup if was taken when the code wasn't on the phone, or reset back to factory defaults if you don't have such a backup (after copying off anything that you want to keep)

If you can't remember the restrictions passcode restore to a backup if was taken when the code wasn't on the device, or reset back to factory defaults if you don't have such a backup (after copying off anything that you want to keep)

If you mean that you can't remember the restrictions passcode restore to a backup if was taken when the code wasn't on the device, or reset back to factory defaults if you don't have such a backup (after copying off anything that you want to keep)

How can I reset my restriction passcode without deleting my stuff in my phone?

Did you read this thread? Or just post at the end of it? If you haven't yet read it, I recommend you do.

The only way to remember it is to remember it. If you can't, yestore to a backup if was taken when the code wasn't on the device, or reset back to factory defaults if you don't have such a backup (after copying off anything that you want to keep)
