You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

How can I get my restrictions pass code without doing a factory restore?
You cannot.
To remove a forgotten Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
1) Restore the Device as New... See Section 6 here...

OR...
2) From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

The first time I edited the file and tried restoring with BackupBot, but the iPad behaved strangely afterward (e.g. apps were quitting and when I disabled restrictions, it didn't seem to accept the change).
I decided to try again, but after editing the file with iBackupBot (on my Mac), I used iTunes to do the restore and this time it worked!

Jan 12, 2016 7:05 PM in response to Bradford Schwieby kicknbutt,Bradford Schwie - I edited the file with iBackupBot and tried to restore from there but it didn't work - how do I edit the file with iBackupBot and then restore from iTunes using a PC? Would the backup file in iTunes still be an original backup file with the restriction passcode on it? I would greatly appreciate any help on this - I really do not want to restore the iphone to factory settings, unfortunately my kid didn't do an icloud backup or anything.
