My passcode expired and now I have a tedious alphanumeric one. How can I change it back?

I stupidly changed passcode when it came up as expired. It forced me into changing to an alphanumeric one which is completely tedious and horrendous. I don't have options to reset to a 4 or 6 digit one in settings anymore. This is a nightmare. Its a personal phone of that helps.


Has anyone had this and reverted back to number passcode? If so, please can you tell me how??

Thank you

iPhone 6, iOS 10

  1. Is this your corporate iPhone? Then please contact the system administrator of your corporate
  2. If it is your personal device, in that case, do you have any profile installed by your corporate/organisation/enterprise/School Management?
    1. Erase the profile added by you If you have installed a profile on your own --> Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple ...
    2. Or please contact the system administrator of the organisation who provided the profile to you
