So - if you have any of the special controls set, not only can you not 'reset' the device, you can't rescue it over the USB port.
This thread is getting confusing.

That doesn't sound very smart...
My confusion (and that of @eschwartz I think) is that we both were thrown off by what we thought @knc1 implied. Namely that turning on Parental Controls restricts access over USB. I am not an expert but I have not seen that. The concern I was pointing out regarding Parental Controls is that there is no sanctioned way to disable them and even after turning off all four restrictions the Parental Controls still shows as enabled. Regarding jailbreaks that could be a latent issue in some circumstances.

And I was also noting that No Restrictions does not equal No Parental Controls (since they don't appear to be disable-able once enabled...unless you reset the device, blah, blah, blah).
