How do I turn off parental controls on my iPhone if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your passcode, you can turn off parental controls on your iPhone.
To turn off parental controls, follow these steps: Hold down the Home button until a menu appears, then choose GeneralRestrictions. Choose Off and then choose Don't Allow from the list of choices. Your device is now off-limits for your teen. Select this option if you don't want to be reminded to turn parental control off at a specific time (for example, when your teen is at a friend's house). You can specify how many times you want to be reminded. Select this option if you want to limit the content your teen can access by app rather than by category (for example, music, movies, games, books, etc. Select this option if you want to limit the content your teen can access by category and the categories are selected in the Restrictions settings. Select this option if you want to limit the content your teen can access by category, the categories are selected in the Restrictions settings, and the content you allow is chosen on an individual app basis.
## Using Find My iPhone. If your teen has mislaid or lost his iPhone, you can use Find My iPhone to track it online. (You can also track the iPhone offline, if you have the device turned on and Wi-Fi is available.) If your teen's iPhone is lost or stolen, it automatically places a message on a website called Find My iPhone, shown in Figure 5-14, to help you track the iPhone. This service can save you a lot of time and trouble. It enables you to remotely lock the device, erase it, or even remotely activate its screen lock.
To set up Find My iPhone, follow these steps: Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap iCloud.
