A funny situation indeed, and I never thought it would happen to me.

I am using an Ipad as a cash register with the Square App.
In order to prevent an employee from browsing the net while at work, I set up restrictions for use of Safari and App downloads.

Now I realized that I forgot the password. Tried all passwords I normally use, but they don't work. Tried fully resetting the Ipad, but it is asking me for the damn Restrictions Password.

What to do?
Will I brick my Ipad now if I continue testing passwords?
I have 7 attempts left.
 
Am I the only one who has something like this happen to him?

Just to clarify: the story is true.
It is my Ipad and not some illegally acquired one.
You can believe it or not, but I prefer that you did and would help me find a solution to the problem, if there is one.

Thanks for reading this.
