Can I recover a forgotten iPhone restrictions passcode?

Can I recover a forgotten iPhone restrictions passcode?

The purpose of iPhone restrictions is to lock certain functions of the device. They are also referred to as Parental Controls, capable of hiding songs with explicit lyrics, preventing YouTube from running, etc.

Without the four-digit passcode restrictions can't be changed. If you have forgotten your restrictions passcode you must restore your iPhone using iTunes to reset the passcode. When asked, do not restore the iPhone from backup, otherwise the old passcode you don't know will be enabled.

After restoring as a new iPhone the Parental Controls are reset to default and the passcode disabled.

Bump all the "restore your iphone" noise. I had the same problem and this did the trick in an instant!
1 - Go here for overview and instructions: https://github.com/gwatts/pinfinder
2 - Go to the Releases section and grab the release for your OS (Linux, Mac, Windows)
3 - Make a LOCAL backup of your iphone/ipad, and be sure to DISABLE the encrypt backup option
4 - When that's done, just run the PinFinder app per the instructions on PinFinder page above.
For Mac, its just right-click, run in Finder, and click open when it warns you its not an authorized app author.
