I forgot the restrictions code to my iPad. Is there any way to recover or change it without losing all my current info?

You're going to have to perform a factory restore to remove the restrictions passcode.

The only way to get around this is to restore the device. You do have your data backed up, right?

If you back up to icloud then reset then all your stuff will be fine

I am backed up to the Cloud. And I can back up to my desktop. But, if I reset and then update to retrieve my data, will the passcode come back?

Set a new password for restrictions before you restore the backup.
