Question:
I set restrictions password on my iPhone to disable in-app purchases so that my children don’t rack up a bill on my account. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten the password. How do I reset it?
Answer:
Thankfully, there’s a way out.
1. Backup your iPhone on iTunes.
2. Using iBackupBot, open the backup folder and go to Library/Preferences/ and open the following file:
com.apple.springboard.plist
All that you need to do is to turn off restrictions. Look for SBParentalControlsEnabled and then Change the <true/> to <false/> in the following lines:
<key>SBParentalControlsEnabled</key>
<false/>
3. Save the backup and restore from iTunes.

Should the iPhone be jailbroken for this? Or this procedure can be done on any iPhone?
