I found my old iphone 3g, and want to use it as an mp3 player for my niece. However, I can’t, for the life of me, remember the pin I set for the restrictions, and I can’t reset it without that. Is there any way to reset it without that pin? I already got everything I wanted to keep off of it, so I’m fine if everything gets deleted. Like I said, I want to give it to be niece as an mp3 player, but want it reset first.
If it’s connected to your account, send it a wipe command from the Find My app or on iCloud.
I don’t think either of those features were in the iPhone 3G.
This phone long predates find my iPhone.
OP put the device in DFU mode and restore it to factory settings. https://support.apple.com/en-us/118106
That worked! Thanks so much!
I lost access to that account shortly after I moved to the iphone 5s, but, yeah, that would have worked :/
