Part 1. Reasons Why Sign Out Is Not Available Due to Restrictions

What is "Sign out is not available due to restrictions"? The message typically appears due to Screen Time restrictions or other device management feature being enabled when trying to sign out of iCloud in the Settings on an iPhone or iPad. This setting can be applied manually by a user, a parent, or remotely via an MDM system, which prevents unauthorized account changes.

In most cases, this issue happens because Screen Time is already turned on. When that's the case, you may not be allowed to change account settings, including signing out of iCloud. The same error can also appear if the device is managed by an organization through a device management profile. In the following sections, we will introduce how to remove these restrictions that prevent you from signing out of Apple ID.

When your iPhone says Sign out is not available due to restrictions, there is no need to be alarmed. In fact, this error is mostly caused by Screen Time restrictions. To make Sign Out available, you only need to turn off Screen Time on your iPhone or iPad. Follow the steps below to tackle the issue, whether you have the Screen Time passcode.

Option 1. Remove Screen Time Restrictions with Screen Time Passcode

When you are unable to sign out of your Apple ID, you can go directly to turn off Screen Time on your iPhone. It's one useful way to help you solve the problem that Sign out is not available on iPhone or iPad. Follow the steps below now.

Step 2. Under Screen Time, tap Change Screen Time Passcode.

Step 3. Select Turn Off Screen Time Passcode on the pop-up window.

Step 4. Enter your Screen Time passcode to turn off Screen Time.

Option 2. Remove Screen Time Restrictions with Apple ID Password

The easiest way to turn off Screen Time is directly disable it with the Screen Time passcode. If you cannot remember your Screen Time passcode, you can choose to reset it with your Apple ID password. This works if the passcode has been linked to your Apple ID, allowing you to regain control of the restriction settings.

Step 1. Head to Settings > Screen Time on your iPhone.

Step 2. Under Screen Time, tap Change Screen Time Passcode.

Step 3. Select Turn Off Screen Time Passcode.

Step 4. Tap Forgot Passcode?, then enter your Apple ID and password to turn it off.

Option 3. Remove Screen Time Restrictions on Family Sharing Device

If the iPhone is part of a Family Sharing group, the organizer may have set restrictions from their device. In that case, the family organizer needs to adjust the Screen Time settings or remove the restriction before you can sign out of the Apple ID.

Step 1. Head to iPhone Settings > Screen Time on the organizer's iPhone.

Step 2. Tap the member under Family.

Step 3. Tap Manage Screen Time > Change Screen Time Passcode > Turn Off Screen Time Passcode.

Step 4. Tap Turn Off Screen Time Passcode again and enter the iPhone passcode to disable it.

Option 2. Remove Screen Time Restrictions with Apple ID Password

Unfortunately, if you forget your Screen Time passcode or Apple ID password, you still cannot remove the prompt saying Sign out is not available due to restrictions on your iPhone or iPad. In this case, you can use a Screen Time remover to turn off Screen Time on your device. Here we do recommend MagFone iPhone Unlocker to you.

Option 5. How to Remove Restrictions to Sign Out of Apple ID [MDM]

Step 1. Open Settings on your device and tap General.

Step 2. Tap VPN and Device Management.
