Settings > General > restrictions needs a password to correct grey out. This is not my iPad password.
iPad, iOS 6.1, 16 GB
If you have turned on Restrictions, you had to have entered a Restrictions Passcode at the time you turned it on - that is the passcode you now need to enter to make changes to the Restrictions settings.
then somebody added another it need not be the appleID or passcode at all
and the only way to get rid of it is to restore it to factory settings
The only possible reason restrictions is on is due to the latest upgrade. It was not "on" prior. All I really wanted to do was restore my iPad to the previous iOS if possible as that process has caused several issues. Now in order to restore to a previous backup I need to turn off iCloud "find my phone", but, of course, it's grey in settings. The restrictions being on also happened during the upgrade as iCloud was always accessible prior to the 8.3 upgrade, or in my case, downgrade. Perhaps my best solution is to get another iPad for this and another for that as apple seems to be reverting to "dedicated computer" technology in their refusal to support its users. Sales driven technology is so capitalistic. I really don't ever want to use iCloud anyway as it's quite an insecure place for IP.
IIt's a catch 22 as I can't restore w/o turning off restrictions in grey out settings iCloud. Would I lose my info when restoring? I have been battling the exclusivity Apple creates in order to increase revenue since my 1st iPod, which is unsupported for quite some time. I am unable to get 100's of original songs off that classic iPod and into iTunes mainly because I didn't purchase these songs from Apple.
Forgive me for being blunt, but the fact that you cannot get songs that you did not purchase from iTunes off of a very old device - back into iTunes, isn't Apple's fault. You should be ****** at the company that you downloaded the music from or at yourself for not having the music safety backed up on your computer already, Old iPods are not storage devices, they are music playing devices.
As for restoring to factory settings, yeas you will owe everything on the iPad. That's not Apple's fault either if you didn't backup before attempting the update. You should be backing up all along just like you would do with a computer. Having all of you songs, photos, files, etc. on one device only is never a good idea.
SInce you have Find my iPad turned on in the settings, you might be able to erase it this way,

I strongly believe that this site needs thread-rating feature which prevents non-human-friendly questions which doesn't seem to have direct correlation with the thread title for being viewed by a frustrated new member which are still on their lower levels while facing problems with their Apple products.
Btw, how do you increase the levels and points again?

A great deal of this thread has been redacted so, you're not in possession of all the facts. Brian's post makes a great deal more sense if you know the context. However, the Hosts would probably prefer we let the matter drop.

That is why I wish they would simply pull these discussions. I have no clue at this point what the hosts edited at the end of my post.
I am probably reading this wrong, but it also looks to me like Brian is chastising the OP and the OP is giving him props? 😕 Makes no sense to me whatsoever.

I believe they edited the date on your post. I believe that post is older than the date indicates. But, I agree. It wouldn't have been a great loss to have the whole thing wiped.
Hi
Meg Brian has a habit of saying what he thinks.
