How do I find out my restrictions passcode on my iPad?

Passcode settings can be found in the Settings app. Scroll down to Restrictions and then tap Settings.The Passcode Restriction settings screen displays all the passcodes that are set up on your iPad. If you have a passcode enabled, it will show you the passcode that you're currently using.

If you have one passcode set up, and another passcode on your device is enabled, it will show the passcode that is currently enabled. If you have two passcodes set up, it will show both passcodes.

If you disable your passcode for a day or more, it will ask you to turn it back on. If you want to use a different passcode for a specific time interval (day, week, month, or year), the Restrictions app enables you to set up the passcode to start on that date. You can also configure a passcode duration, which is the number of days you'd like to keep it enabled, before it resets to its default value. For example, if you select the Week duration, it will enable a passcode from Monday through Sunday.

When you enable Restrictions, you can set it up to require a passcode on specific apps and content. You can even require a passcode on certain app types. When you turn Restrictions on, it creates a special app-specific lock screen. You'll be prompted to use this lock screen with any new apps that you install. If you use these apps, it requires you to enter your passcode to continue using them.

Restrictions can also be enabled for specific Wi-Fi networks, such as an Airplane Mode network or one for your home network. Turn Restrictions off to use all apps and content without having to type a passcode. If you remove the passcode requirement, you'll get a warning message saying that you won't be able to access all apps and content. If you don't see this message, or if you want to see what apps and content are affected, tap Turn Restrictions on/off.

I have a passcode on my iPhone and iPad.

There is a special "Restrictions" page. What is this page? Is it a type of lock screen? When should I enter passcode instead?

It is part of the "Access Control" section of the Security & Privacy page of Settings on your iOS device, shown in iOS 13. It is described as follows: After you turn on the Restrictions feature, Apple creates one-time-use passcodes for apps that use Restrictions. You can use these passcodes to access an app's Restrictions settings, where you can control how an app uses its location and other important device features. Note: If you make your passcode too difficult to guess, your data security could be at risk. Your passcode isn't as secure as your master password.
