You can change that restrictions in Settings>>General>>Restrictions. If you've forgotten that passcode, you will need to erase the device and set up as NEW. Restoring from backup will only restore the restrictions passcode.

Restore using recovery mode


  1. Connect your iOS device to your computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
  2. While your device is connected, force restart it: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. Don't let go when you see the Apple logo — keep holding until you see the recovery mode screen.

  3. When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Restore.

  4. If the process takes more than 15 minutes, iTunes will automatically exit Recovery Mode and you'll have to start again.
