    I bought an iPhone from my friend and she had it unlocked for any network (I'm Vodafone). After a few weeks of using the phone and downloading apps it asked me for a restrictions code which I didn't know. I tried a few different codes but nothing is working and my friend doesn't know this code either. I tried restoring the factory settings on the phone but it wont let me as without the restrictions code. I have also looked on YouTube and tried various things but nothing is working as everything I try it ultimately askes for the restrictions code. I cant download app etc. basically all the phone can do now is make an receive calls and texts. if anyone could suggest anything it would be very helpful. Thanks

    Is there a backup on iCloud? Go to setting and then iCloud, scroll down to storage and backup and it should say last backed up at xx.

    If not or backup is turned off, enable it and wait until it does a backup.
    Then put it in DFU mode and restore it that way. There's plenty of DFU guides on YouTube.
