i don't know my restrictions passcode. i don't remember ever making it. i know my passcode to unlock phone.

I have never entered the restrictions code, today I have thought to restrict my phone from children as I can see restriction on and asking the password I have entered my phone unlock but didn't work and message is one failed attempt. I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me setting up my restrictions code or how to change etc. Thank you in advance

Hi

Your restrictions PASSCODE is sometimes the same code as your

Unlock code?

Also download an App called Keeper for your passwords

In the apps store .

I need help

don't know my restrictions passcode. i don't remember ever making it. i know my passcode to unlock phone.

I performed a factory restore on my phone (Iphone6) and it did not fix the problem. The restrictions were still turned on.

The following quotation is from iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)

Important: If you lose or forget your Restrictions passcode, you'll need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

I Had the same problem with my iPad. The Restrictions was "On" , while I don't remember when and how I had activated it! But for sure I myself had enabled it by mistake because I am the only person who works with this device!

I tried some codes, three times, but it said that the restrictions passcodes were not correct. Three failed attempts 😐

AS I always write down all my passwords and IDs in a small notebook, I checked it to find a four digit number. In the Apple page, there was nothing except my "ICloud Security Code" Which was the only four digit code there. And that was it! I entered my iCloud security code and it worked and opened a menu and I disabled this Restrictions and I will never enable it!

Hope it works for all and sorry for my broken English 🙂

PS: The "Restrictions" is not only for parrents who want to control their children but also for your own security when you buy apps and inapps from App Store or iTunes,

DO NOT FORGET: after disabling the Restrictions go to General - iTunes & App Stores - Password Setting, and turn on "Require Password" and "Always Require", otherwise after each purchase, they can charge your bank account many times without your permission!

Hi Brian,

The "Restrictions Passcode" is not your "unlock code" or "iCloud security code".

You have entered a four digit code and activated it/by mistake. I had entered my iCloud security code. But most people enter their unlock codes because it's a four digit code, looking like the unlock code and they have no idea what it is! Hope you have not entered a random number! 😐

GIve a try to your old unlock codes or your iCloud security code.

Hi, Thank you for your help. I don't know when or how i did it or when it asked me to set it up, but it was my previous 4 digits phone unlock code.

🙂

The answer is the same as it was 3 years ago when this thread was marked as solved.
