hi Lawrence, does this work?
If you have backed up your device to your computer via itunes, you can locate a file on your computer.
Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > App Store - Here you should see a file called "adoption.plist"
Select that file, hold control in the drop down select open with "Text edit"
When you open and view this file look for a line of code with the following tags <integer>XXXX</integer>The four numbers that you will see between these tags is your "restriction passcode"
Remember that number, close the file - and you should be in.
I found it here: Forgot restrictions passcode on iPhone or iPad
You cannot reset or turn off the passcode you have to restore to factory.

No, it doesn't. It worked 4 years ago, but Apple has since encrypted the Restrictions passcode. What DOES work is to decrypt the Restrictions passcode after extracting the encrypted passcode from a backup. It works because there are only 10,000 possible combinations, so all you need is a script that tries all of them. There are several sites that have such scripts, and at least one (expensive) iphone backup extractor app that will do it for you. The app is the only way I know to get it from an encrypted iTunes or from an iCloud backup.
Fyip has given you the official answer. However, some creative web searching will reveal alternatives.
Thank you🙂
