Need to reset: Can’t find restrictions password

can’t find restrictions password, do not have back up on iTunes, just on iCloud. Can I connect the old iPad to Wi-Fi, go to my find my iPad app, and just erase everything so it resets to factory settings?


I know my lock password, and I know my Apple ID and password. But it seems I cannot reset the old iPad without knowing the four digit restrictions password. Help

iPad Wi-Fi, iOS 10.3

If you forgot the passcode [including a restrictions passcode] for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - http://support.apple.com/HT204306 - You can restore from a backup but that backup has to date from before you set the restrictions password.
