    1)  Check in Restrictions... Settings > General > Restrictions

     

    Understanding Restrictions  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213

     

    2)  Check in All Folders and on All Pages/Screens...

     

    3)  If no joy... Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen

    The truncated answer was no help at all. Pretend I'm an older guy whose understanding of advanced technical devices is restricted and you would be correct.

     

    I cannot access restricted information because I do not remember my restricted access code, therefore cannot do anything like reboot, refresh, or re anything.

     

    To my consternation, Apple does not provide either a phone number nor an email address OR online helpdesk to work through issues (as simple as they may be) to its customers.

     

    I am not a happy nor satisfied customer in that regard.

     

    By the way, your response neither solved my question nor helped me.

    Please realize that this is a user to user forum, we are users like your self that are contributing our time to assist others, Apple does not participate in these forums.

     

    You are the one that set the passcode for restrictions and there is nothing that we (your fellow users) can do to assist you in recovery of that code, neither can Apple as it clearly stated when you set it.

    You will need to reset your devce to factory settings in order to eliminate the forgotten code.

     

    Here is the link for Apple support:  http://www.apple.com/support/

     

    You will find that users in this community are much more helpful when you DO NOT criticize them for trying to help.

    Hi, the only way to solve this problem is by going to

     

    Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions > Allow Camera > Disable Restrictions again.

     

    Problem solved!
