Remove Restriction Passcode from your Jailbroken iPhone 4/4S, 5/5S

If you ever enabled your restriction and now you forgot the restriction passcode that makes you cannot disable the restriction. I will show you how to reset the passcode and disable the restriction. I tested it on iPhone 5/5s on;y, i think it should work on 4/4S as well.


This method only can be applied for the jail-broken iPhone.

1. Download iFile from Cydia.
2. In iFile, navigate to this directory var--> mobile--> Library--> Preferences
3. Look for com.apple.springboard.plist
4. Tap on the file, choose "Text Viewer"
5. Find the key "SBParentalControlEnabled" change the value to "false"
6. Find the key "SBParentalControlFailedAttempts" change the value to "0"
7. Look for the key below, and add the following 2 lines code as shown in bold.
          <dict>
              <key>countryCode</ key>
              <string>us</ string>
          </ dict>
         <key>SBParentalControlsPIN< /key>
         <string>1234</ string> 

8. Save the file, then try to access to your restriction using passcode "1234", you should be able to access and disabled the restriction.
9. Once the restriction is disabled, please go the com.apple.springboard.plist and remove the string below:

             <key>SBParentalControlsPIN< /key>
             <string>1234</ string>
