Disable the password protection - Turn passcode off in ios 6.1

Hi,
Yesterday, I've upgraded my iphone 5 to ios 6.1
Since then the phone asked me to enter a new password and from that point on, I can't disable this option and  every time my phone gets locked and I open it I need to enter my password.
How do I disable it ??
from the settings options I can't this option to Turn the passcode off is in gray (Disable).
Does anyone know what to do ?
Thanks,

Do you have an exchange account from your school or employer set up?  If so, they have overridden the default settings to enforce passcode use.  They do this simply by pushing out a security certificate via their exchange server.  The only way to get rid of those restrictions will be to remove the exchange account and no longer use it.

  • I forgot the password to turn restrictions off. Any suggestions?

    I forgot the password to turn the restrictions lock off. Help!

    Try hard to remember it!  There is no way to recover from a Restrictions Password lockout (unless you have a backup from before you set the Restrictions password).  In order to remove the Restrictions password, you must restore your iPod to Factory Settings.  Everything on the iPod will be wiped, but you can redownload your purchased apps for free.

    to do that you need to unlock your ipad
    to unlock your ipad you need to re-set your keyboard
    to do that you need a greek keboard
    to get your greek keyboard back you need to unlock your ipad
    and so on and son

  • HT1688 Is there any way to set password to protect the location service, to keep GPS open? so, the theft cannot turn it off so easy, because once the location service is turn off, all GPS track is useless...

    That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
    In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.

  • Is there anyway to require the password before turn off iPad?

  • How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone

    how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting

    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    Try this - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - also you can sign into www.icloud.com and remote erase the phone
    recovery mode restore as descibed in HT1808 might be  your last resort though

  • Cannot take the password protection off from a blog

    Hi Everyone
    I cannot take the password protection off from a blog. I uncheck the password checkbox (In the inspector) save the site and then publish.
    When I visit the site in 3 different browsers the security user name and password protection still remains.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply
    I have tried that, empty the caches history etc
    No luck
    Cheers

  • "Turn Passcode Off" is grayed out.

    After upgrading to iOS 7 on my Ipad 3 the "Turn Passcode Off" button is grayed out. I did have an Exchange account on it, but I have since removed it. I also have an iPhone 5 on iOS 7 and I can turn off and on the passcode at will even with an Exchange account. I have reapplied the update and restored same thing. Then I completly reset it and I could turn it off and on. But as soon as I restored the passcode lock came back. Also as not "Erase Data" is also grayed out.

    Reset all Settings will work. I canceled it though before it started.
    Also if it matters I can change my passcode, just not turn it off.

  • Turning Passcode off

    How can I turn off my passcode?  I have gone through Settings>General>Passcode Lock and entered my passcode, but when I get to Turn Passcode Off, it is greyed out and I cannot click on it to turn the passcode off.  What can I do about this?

    If you have an Exchange account set up on the phone, the administrators can enforce a policy requiring a passcode lock.  If that's the case, you can not remove the passcode without deleting the Exchange account from the phone.

  • HT4113 cannot turn passcode off

    I downloaded an app that required I choose a passcode.  Now I want to turn this feature off on my IPhone but it will not allow me to.  It says turn passcode off but it's not highlighted and when I press it nothing happens...

    As far as I know there are no apps that require a passcode. There is on some exchange servers that require you to have a passcode on your phone to use the exchange server. Also having a passcode on your phone is a good idea as if you lose it your personal data is safe from prying eyes. Not sure why anyone would want to leave their phone that unsecure in the first place.
