How can I reset my restrictions passcode without having to lose all my data from restoring as a new device?

I am using an iPhone 5S. My restrictions passcode has suddenly become incorrect when I am sure it has always been the same passcode for years. How can I reset my restrictions passcode without risking to lose all my data from restoring as a new device? 😐

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.0.2

you can't. Otherwise there'd be no purpose to having a restrictions passcode in the first place.

Try using the last 4 of your social. i have never set a restriction pass code. And all of my numeric pass code are always the same. it defaulted to the last 4 of my Social.
