Forgotten restrictions passcode on iPhone?

[Thingywingy]

Does anyone have any experience extracting restriction passcode on a iPhone? I wouldn't mind restoring but the iTunes backup includes the restrictions passcode. Looking around online, I picked up that there is software that can extract the passcode. I checked the reviews on one of them and saw some people complaining that it comes with lots of malware. Any reccomendations on extraction software or other solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did you call apple?

I don't have apple care and its not within 90 day.

I have called apple after 90 days, it can't hurt to call.

Otherwise, if you have it backed up you can always restore it back to original (like new) and it will get rid of the restrictions.

I tried a iPhone Backup Extractor software last night and had a problem using it. I emailed them and received this response today.
