Is it possible to use the parental controls app on my iPhone?

If you're in a country where you need to use a SIM from a local service provider, check to see if you have another SIM from that same service provider in your iPhone.

How do you reset the restrictions passcode on iPhone?

I have this old phone that I want to put some apps on it, but I can't even get past the passcode screen, because it won't let me in without it.

Any ideas?

You have a few options:1. If you bought the phone recently (within the last 2 years), you may be able to use iTunes to restore from backup, bypassing any passcode restrictions. That's how I did it with my original iPhone, for example, and it's how I've gotten around this problem before. If you bought the phone about 6 months ago, then it's still possible to do a factory reset. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will delete all of the data, leaving you with a fresh new phone.3. You could always remove the SIM card and try to find another one that is known to work. Some people have gotten lucky, and others have been stuck with phones that aren't supported. You can find more information on the Apple Support site.

In my experience, the passcode restriction only appears when your phone has been jailbroken, so it's either that or your phone is really old. If you've got some time and you're willing to spend it, you can probably figure out what the passcode was, and the lock it off with iTunes. There's a program called iPhone Passcode Unlocker which will do the job. I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure it'll work for you. If you know what the code was before it was set, you might be able to recover it by trying all the codes that were available to the previous owner. You could use another cell phone as a reference, or you could try to reset the phone to factory defaults (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). But that might be a little more of a pain than just using iPhone Passcode Unlocker.

Is it true that you can unlock it in iTunes? I heard somewhere that it's impossible to unlock it with iTunes. For any iDevice, you have to unlock it using a passcode, or enter it into the passcode box that appears when you first turn on your phone. You can't unlock it with iTunes.

It's possible to unlock it with iTunes, but you have to remember the passcode you used to set up the phone.
