Passcode now changed Whenever my face was partially blocked (scarf, hat, etc...) my Face ID wouldn't activate. Sometimes I just decides it wants the passcode regardless. Well it suddenly asked for an update on the passcode. It used to be 6 numerical digits which was quick and easy. But now it asked for 5 numerical digits, 5 alphabetical digits, and a symbol. I have to type in 11 digits now. This is really awkward now and is difficult to access in a pinch when Face ID isn't recognizing me. Is there a way to go back to just 6 digits?

Is it locked from incorrect screen pass code (disabled) or you have forgotten the screenlock code, then see:
