A reset may become necessary if your Apple iPhone 4, 4S or 3GS becomes locked up or frozen and isn’t responding. Here’s how to perform both a soft or hard reset.
Soft Reset
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the unit until a red slider appears
2. Drag the slider on the screen.
3. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Hard Reset
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for about ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My iPhone 4 has a restrictions pass code set and I don’t know what it is. When I bought it the nice girl in the shop put the SIM in and started setting it up. I don’t know if that was when the restrictions were turned on, but its set to On and I didn’t set a code. Can I remove this pass code if I restore the phone?
