As mentioned, to remove the restrictions passcode, you must erase/restore the phone. Changing iCloud IDs does nothing. The passcode is kept on the phone itself.


Unlike the lock screen passcode, the restrictions passcode is stored in any backups. So if you have no backups, simply erase or restore, set up as new and carry on.


Your data is lost.

Was it on the phone when you last backed up ? If not you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the phone when you last backed up you will need to reset the phone back to factory defaults (after copying off anything that you want to keep) and you can then re-sync your content back to it - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
