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.

    Thanks kappy Though I have owned 25 different Mac computers, none will link to Icloud (but they make wonderful paperweights,) Updates that suddenly take away your ability to use your security passcode we used to =call Microsoft Beta $$ releases. So I must wipe the memory of the whole machine.

    In all those 25 macs since 1987 I have never had to back up and never lost a byte of data. Unlike the aforementioned PC users. The 9 year old MacBook core two duo is still in use and still able to do most os 9 and 10 activities. Unfortunately that meant not updating past Lion. When your accounting software for small business is c1987 you must make some choices. MacMoney.. The original before MS even had copied mac to produce windows..

    In Anticipation of this I have a second Ipad air 2 running my icloud account. Basically a duplicate. Whichis on auto Backup....and duplicates .

    Will wiping the first one wipe icloud records as well???
