pinfinder recovers the restrictions (parental) passcode on iPhones, iPads and iPod touches from an iTunes backup.
New in 1.4.0
This version detects if your backup has a passcode file, but it can't be recovered as it's encrypted (it'll display a backup is encrypted message if so).
If you see such a message you'll need to turn off the Encrypt iPhone backup option in iTunes and re-sync before trying pinfinder again.
Take a look at the instructions for full details on how to use the program.

New in 1.3.1:
1.3.0 failed to detect the backup directory for Windows XP - This release fixes that and hopefully doesn't break things for other versions of Windows (I re-tested on Windows 8 at least, so hopefully it's good).
Please file an issue if it doesn't work for you, or share it with your friends if it does ;-)

This version prompts for the enter key to be pressed on completion (unless you specify -nopause=true on the command line) to avoid the terminal window closing too quickly on exit.
It also adds some debugging information should the program fail to break the PIN.
