    Remove restriction passcode

     

     

    1. Restore to Factory Default

    2. You can restore from a backup that was done before you enable the Restriction Code.

    If you have a backup that does NOT contain the passcode, you can restore from that backup to eliminate the code. If not, then no, there is no way to reset it without restoring as new.

     

    There are some third party computer apps (I think) that claim to be able to extract the passcode but I have no experience with them at all.
