You would have needed to disable Simple Passcode which only accepts four digits. Without the passcode you need to restore your device.

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.
