If you cannot remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to restore the device as new in iTunes to remove it, as explained in the document in your post’s title:


“If you forget your Restrictions passcode, you need to erase your device, then set it up as a new device to remove the Restrictions passcode. Restoring your device using a backup won't remove the Restrictions passcode.”
