    Forgot my restriction code for my settings!

    I set the 4 digit pass code under the setting so if my iPad was lost or stolen no one could turn off the tracking or the iCloud. Well of course now I can not remember what it is. I have tried everything I could think. Am I just out of luck or is there any way around this?

    There are some tools for reading backup files that might help. Google a bit.

    A full device wipe and restore will work...

    Restore from a backup that does NOT have restrictions locked down or if one is not available...

    Perform a full backup through iTunes then restore factory settings aka wipe the iPad.

    Then use iTunes to sync back apps, music, photos, videos and documents. Do NOT restore...sync and the end result should be current iPad image with restrictions unlocked.

    There are no shortcuts, they would defeat the purpose of the security setting.....sorry.
    Background apps are hiding for good reason. Seek them out, close them. The world will be a better place.
