Downloaded ios 6 and when asked to login,password times out

Question

Yesterday I downloaded the new IOS 6 to my phone (4S).  Part of setup includes login with your apple id and password.  When i enter my password, I get a time out error message.  Please advise to fix. Thank you.

Having a passcode is good security should your phone be lost or stolen. Instead of removing the requirement for a passcode you might instead set it to be required less often.
In that same area of settings mentioned in the previous post you probably have the passcode lock set to immediately. This means that every time your phone sleeps a passcode will be required to open it again. This is the highest level of security.
But if you're like me the constant need to enter a passcode is undesirable. So I changed the setting to 1 hour. The passcode then will be required after one hour of idle time on the phone. I rarely go an hour without using my phone so I don't have to enter a passcode every time I wake up the Phone. Only after long periods of inactivity do I need to enter the passcode. For me that's a good compromise.
