I got an iPad from a friend. It wasn't new, but they reset it so I could start again. The only thing is, I need to get into the restrictions stuff to change the restriction settings. Problem; I don't have the restrictions pass code. There is no way I can contact the friend since they moved and blah blah blah, I don't have or want a backup, and I can't use iTunes. I am wanting to restore like factory settings, so I can make my own passcode. Any help?

Best Answer
Try entering DFU mode and restore it from there.
To enter DFU mode:
Step 1. Connect iDevice with your computer.
Step 2. Start iTunes.
Step 3. Press power- and home-button of your iPhone and hold it down
Step 4. Maybe the “Turn-off” slider will appear – continue holding down both buttons!
Step 5. The iPad will turn off.
Step 6. When the display turns black for four seconds, release the power-button. Don’t release the home-button!
Step 7. iTunes will show you after 5 to 10 seconds that your iPad has entered the DFU mode.
Step 8. Restore Your phone
