How to change the restrictions password?
My daughter found out the password I use to restrict her phone access on her iPhone. How do I change the password for this?
Settings > General > Restrictions
By clicking [enable restrictions] it will prompt you for password, you may disable it and then re-enter the passcode.
More detailed directions
- Open the "Settings" menu from your Home screen, and then tap the "General" button.
- Select "Restrictions" from the General page when it loads to the screen. A page loads prompting you for a passcode.
- Enter the current PIN into the prompt. The iPhone will grant you access to the Restrictions preferences page.
- Tap "Disable Restrictions" at the top of the References screen. The passcode prompt appears again.
- Enter the current PIN. IPhone returns you to the Restrictions page.
- Tap the "Enable Restrictions" button at the top of the page. Enter a new PIN into the passcode prompt when it appears on your screen. Confirm the PIN in the "Re-enter Your Restrictions Passcode" prompt to finalize the change.
You haft to know the password or you will haft reset the phone and lose every thing on it! (good luck) doing it anyother way
- Will my restrictions password transfer? I have an iPhone 4s, I'm getting an iPhone 5s or 6. I currently have a restrictions password but I don't remember what it is. Will the password transfer to my new phone? I was told the password stays with your Apple ID.
- Is there a way i could remove my restrictions password from my iphone 4? I let my little brother mess around with my iphone 4 and when i got it back the app store and safari were gone. I figured out he turned on restrictions and when i asked him what the password was he didn't remember. So now i basically have nothing to do on it.
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- I set an iPhone restrictions password on my phone, but forgot it? My younger nephew was borrowing my phone for the week, so I turned restrictions on. But, I forgot the password. I have 9 failed attempts, what happens if I get to 10? I know the phone will be wiped, but does that mean everything will be put to factory settings, or that I can't use my phone at all, or I won't be able to guess the password anymore? Sidenote- Non-jail broken iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.0.1. And I don't own a computer and I can't restore it from one anyway.
