IPhone 6 Plus :: IOS 8.1 / Forgotten Restrictions Passcode
Dec 2, 2014
I have forgotten my restrictions passcode. I reset my phone (iphone 6 ) using icloud and find my phone, however it has simply re-restored the mystery passcode.Â
parental restrictions password was set on my 4S, and now wanting to take them off, but the problem is, i have forgotten the password. The bigger problem with this is that my macbook got a new harddrive so i can not restore from a previous back-up before the restrictions and i do not want to reset from factory settings as i will have nothing and no way of getting anything back.
I will go to settings, general, reset, erase all content and settings, enteer my passcode, than it asks me for my restrictions passcode which i didnt even make? This is a iphone 1st generation but works great besides this.
I need to restore my phone and update iTunes. I think I need to take restrictions off but I forgot passcode.I can't even restore the phone to factory settings without entering passcode. How can I do this?My phone has so many capabilities but I cannot utilize them
I have been using the IPCU for a while now, however we are having more and more iPhones and iPads in the business and we are finding it more difficult to manage. To start with I enable a few security features, ie a passcode that is 6 digits and expires after 30 days. This is set to time out after 5 minutes and also to come into force if the device is switched off. Ok so that doesnt sound too difficult and we have overcome the issue (at our cost) with iPads and iPhones being setup at different times as we need to get the passcodes in synch.
My real problem (well two actually) is that if the person for whatever reason forgets their passcode their seems to be no way of resetting it over the air or with an admin override facility. That mean that they either have to keep guessing until they wipe the device or bring it to HQ to resolve. The second problem is that we are using EAS (exchange active synch) which is great and works well but when the passwords expire on their AD account the push notification then fires up the wrong password notification box and locks out their AD account. I know the easiest way is to not expire passwords but this is a legal requirement.
So my friend changed my lockscreen passcode and neither of us remember it. Is there a way to change it or something because I need my phone and it's pretty much useless now.
Changed my passcode lock from letters back to numbers. I know what numbers i picked for the lock but the phone won't let me in! Tried a number of combinations but none worked! Has it ever happened that an iPhone won't let you in with the correct passcode? Does it usually malfunction when you switch back to numbers? And most importantly - is the only solutioin to reset the phone???
My husband locked my restrictions under the settings app and has forgotten what the pass code is. Is there any way to reset the restrictions pass code with out resetting the whole phone? And if I did have to reset the whole phone will it for sure unlock the restrictions?
Try to enable restictions on iphone 4s. After I enter the password twice. The choices are dim and I am not able to change which apps i want to restrict.
I need to know whether or not an app is allowed to use the FaceTime function within it. Just as an example, let's say one creates an app where you pay (or not) to talk to a person using FaceTime (let's say ChatRoulette-like, but with an actual purpose); is that permissible?
I enabled Restrictions on my kid's iPhones and failed to write it down... Is it possible to reset it? If it take it to an Apple or AT&T store, can they?
I just updated my iPhone 3GS from iOS 4.3.5 to 5.1, and now Restrictions are set to "On". That was definitely not the case before I updated, and I do not know the 4-digit passcode to disable. Two questions: How do I turn off Restrictions without re-installing the OS? The upgrade to 5.1 took nearly 15 hours (a nearly full 32GB iPhone) and tied up the family iMac (late-2010 model 27" Core i7 quad-processor) for the entire time — I do not want to that again, especially if I cannot be guaranteed that Restrictions won't end up locked again.What happens if I keep trying different passcodes — is there a limit on the number of attempts? If so, what happens when that limit is reached? Additional info: not using iCloud; mail, contact, calendars still set to sync to MobileMe; everything else syncs via iTunes on the iMac.
