iPhone password changing

My iPhone doesn’t allow me to change a new 6 digit password. Only given options are ‘custom alphanumeric code’ and ‘custom numeric code’.


Even I enter a 6 digit/8digit numeric code, it appears to be ‘too easy’ and not allowing me to change it

Changing the Passcode:

  1. Go here: Use a Passcode with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: Change your passcode or passcode setting
  3. Two things are mentioned...


  • Change Passcode: Enter a new six-digit passcode. Or tap Passcode Options to switch to a four-digit numeric code, a custom numeric code, or a custom alphanumeric code.
  • Turn Passcode Off: Tap this option to turn off your passcode.

"iPhone password changing: Very resonable method but I don’t have the option to choose ‘4digit’ or ‘6digit’ password. Even I entered a 6 digit password it appears to be ‘too easy’"

Contact Apple support:

If you can't change it yourself, then give Apple a call. If you fiddle with it a bit, you might be locked out of your iPhone.


Apple Contact Info:

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there, as necessary
  • Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through.
