Passcode Lock Change

I don't want to put in my Passcode every time I swipe to use my iPhone 4G.
I have gone into Settings > General > Auto-Lock and changed it to 3 minutes.
However, the change in the setting doesn't seem to apply.
Am I missing a step someplace?
Thanks for your anticipated reply... b.

Thanks!
I was going into Auto Lock and never went into Passcode Lock.

It said' Passcodes match' now every time I type in the same exact thing it says "Connect to I-tunes". I have connected to I-Tunes a ton of times but i don;t know how to change it. Can someone please help me and tell me where I need to go to change it?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You cannot remotely undo a remote lock nor remotely unlock it.

Change Passcode lock from numeric to alphabetic.

I have an iPhone 3G and have a passcode lock set.Recently I changed the password to a 4 numeric one and now I want to go back to an alphabetic password with more than 4 characters since it feels more safe.But now I cannot change it into anything other than a 4 numeric one.Searched all the posts in the forum and couldn't find a solution.Can anyone help me please.Tried the resetting option,didn't help.
Tahnks in advance.

The only way I know to do what you want is to download this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL851
And then:
# Click on the Passcode tab, and check Require Passcode on Device. Check the various options/restrictions you want to enable.
# When you are all done, click the Share button at the top of the window. An email will open with a configuration profile attached. Send the email to your iPhone.
# Open Mail on your iPhone, and open the message with the configuration profile attached. Click on the profile attachment, and then follow the on-screen prompts to install the profile and set your new long passcode.

How do I reset or unlock if ive forgotten the passcode lock to restrict phone

is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

How to set Passcode lock time in iOS 7.02?

In upgrading my Sprint, iPhone 5s from iOS 7.0 to 7.0.2, when go to Settings/General/Passcode-Fingerprint/Require Passcode, it is now set on "Immediately", when, in 7.0, I had it set for 15 minutes.
When I touch the word "Immediately", the screen shows the word "Immediately", followed by a checkmark. Below the word "Immediately", is a text line stating "Shorter times are more secure." However, when I touch the word "Immediately", the drop down menu that previously appeared under Version 7.0, which provided a choice of Passcode lock times, no longer appears, so I cannot change the time settings for the Passcode lock function.
Is the choice of time settings willfully no longer available, or is this a bug? If a bug, is there a workaround?
Thank you!!

I found an answer, as I had the same issue. And of course, like many things Apple, it's fairly simple.
The issue arises when you have Touch ID enabled. Once you disable Touch ID, you will then have choices of longer periods before a passcode is required. Of course then you don't have Touch ID, but mine rarely works anyway. My skin is too dry and it fails constantly.
There is a good explanation here: http://danstillman.com/2013/09/30/touch-id-and-require-passcode-immediately

HT201210 how do i bypass a passcode or change a passcode on an ipad

how do i bypass a passcode on an ipad?

If you know the passcode then you can go into Settings > General > Passcode Lock and tap on Change Passcode.
If can't remember the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Problem removing 4 digit passcode lock (IOS 4.2.1)

When i try to turnoff my passcode lock, the phone get stuck at the second pass confirmation page.. Help.

Does it normally took this long to reset?
No, but let it sit like that for a few more minutes. If no change, force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn off your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone to turn off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. After restoring from backup, you must sync to restore your iTunes content.

HT4113 Can not turn off passcode lock

I can not turn off passcode lock. I see it and it is grayed out. I can change the password, etc. but I can not turn it off I plugged the phone into a friends computer a few days ago to charge it. Does that have something to do with it?

There is an exchange account on the device and the Admins of that account require a passcode lock on the device.

Here's the article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
...If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, iPhone or iPod touch will be disabled for longer intervals, before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect to the computer you normally sync with. Note that starting with iPhone 2.1 software, there is a setting to cause the device to erase itself after 10 consecutive incorrect password attempts. This setting is off by default. It can be turned on by tapping Settings > General > Passcode Lock after you enter a correct passcode.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device on the computer that was used to originally sync the iPhone or iPod touch so that you can reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced to the iPhone or iPod touch, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode but your data will not be present. Refer to "Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software."

I have an iPod touch 2G and I can't set up a passcode lock. I hit "Turn Passcode on" and then enter the passcode I want. Then it brings me back to the Passcode Lock Screen, NOT turning on my passcode.

I hit "Turn Passcode on" and then enter the passcode I want. Then it brings me back to the Passcode Lock Screen, NOT turning on my passcode. Now this iPod touch is a gift from my family, used before me. I set up my iTunes account, but when i view my Apple account it's not showing up. Is this the reason my iPod isnt working? Please help.

The users guide says:
Passcode Lock
By default, iPod touch doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it.
Set a passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock and enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter the passcode again to verify it. iPod touch then requires you to enter the passcode to unlock it or to display the passcode lock settings.
Turn passcode lock off: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and tap Turn Passcode Off, then enter your passcode again.
Change the passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and tap Change Passcode. Enter your passcode again, then enter and reenter your new passcode.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Can't turn off my passcode lock.

Hi, i can't turn off mu passcode. The section of "Turn passcode of" isn't valid. It is passive and i can't select that.

Lots of companies, if you access your work email from your phone, require that, to protect company information, you have a password. As part of the Exchange set up, a profile is installed on your phone that can enforce the password requirement. I'm sure your IT department knows about the requirement as they would have had to set it up. You should discuss it with them. If they refused to change the settings, you'll either have to live with the passcode lock or not get your work email on your phone.
Best of luck.
