The only way to change it is via the passcode settings. If you have forgotten the restrictions passcode, then you need to restore your device as New. You cannot restore a backup unless it is one from before you set a restrictions passcode.


If you change an existing passcode setting it should not change your restrictions settings.

To my knowledge you can't CHANGE the password. You can only disable the restriction, and then set it again with a new password, and you lose your restriction setting in that process!
