Step 2: Select the General option at the left side of the screen.
Step 3: Touch the Restrictions button in the column at the right side of the screen.
Step 4: Touch the Enable Restrictions option at the top of the screen.
Step 5: Type a password that you can use to return to this screen and make changes.
