    Unfortunately, if you can't remember it, you'll have to restore it using a backup that was made prior to setting the restrictions passcode on it, if you have one.  If you don't have a backup from before you set the restrictions passcode, you'll have to restore it without using a backup and start over.  (You can still save some of the data before doing so, such as importing photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.)
