    You don't, really.

    3. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

     

    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help

     

               1. iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode

               2. About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    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.

     

    If none of the above work for you, then:

     

    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.

       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the

           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.

       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds

           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.

     

                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the

                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,

                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.

     

      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the

           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,

           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some

           charge, and then start with step 2 again.

      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.

           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:

      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:

      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.

     

    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.

    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    I don't have a computer and I'm locked out of my iTunes account from purchasing or downloding anything even if free due to an overcharge on a prepaid visa. There's no way I'll be able to get the money anytime soon and apple for some reason can't refund it and take away the purchases. So there's nothing I can do? No master passcode or anything?

    No, there is no master passcode. You overcharged an account from which you made purchases you cannot return. Since all sales are final, Apple will do nothing until you straighten out your financial screwup. Maybe you can ask your parent to help you. We cannot.

    I guess the real question is what is this cr@p doing in the Logic-Pro forum. We get way too many of these posts that have nothing to do with Logic-Pro, is it the Forum software or people that don't know what they're doing.

    Two things. Why did you censor crap? And I put it here because I have no Idea what I'm doing and didn't know where to put it and because my phone was fragging out so I just chose an option. I'm sorry I'll see if I can delete it. I literally made this account like half an hour ago for this question only.

    It's not the forum software. You're free to report the post to the mods, provided you've gained sufficient points to do so. Or you can ask nicely of helpers like me to arrange to have the topic moved. Lastly, overlook the OP's mistake and help out.
