You will have to reset your device to its factory settings in order to bypass the restrictions. Sorry.

It's either a 4 or 6 digit number. If you can't recall it, you'll have to do as D' says and restore the phone. But to do that, you will need your Apple ID and password to set back up. Be sure to back up first.

I cant find a wsy to reset without having to have a computer or the reset setting thats locked

If you don't remember your passcode to reset your settings you are going to need a computer with iTunes. Can you borrow one from someone?
Your can also bring your device into an Apple Store.

It should be the same passcode as your regular passcode to unlock your phone. Unless you chose a chance completely different one. But yes, otherwise you'll have to start from scratch and restore your phone if that works.

I cant do any of that. The phone comes back as it was.

You can't do any of what? You do not need your restrictions passcode to reset your device, you will need the lockscreen passcode, if one was set. If you do not even know your lockscreen passcode then something is suspicious. Anyway, there isn't a way to bypass the restrictions passcode, except by resetting the device. Period.

and by "reset" he means a complete reset to factory settings, not just a reboot of the device. :)

Reset:
Soft Reset: Hold power button until the slide to power off appears, then slide to power off.
Hard Reset: Hold the top or side power/sleep button and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears, then release. (Reboot)

Restore: Restoring to factory settings
1. As new
2. With iTunes back up
3. With iCloud back up
