    Perhaps you question would best be asked in the Using iPhone forum.

    Goto, Settings, General, Passcode Lock -> Off, won't get rid of the lock screen but you won't have to type the passcode anymore, you'll have to type your passcode in to confirm you want to turn it off.

    Having a passcode lock has absolutely nothing to do with Find my iPhone.

     

    Follow mbNoit's instructions to turn it off. If you have a Corporate Exchange account set up on your phone, you may not be able to remove turn it off unless you remove the Exchange account. Exchange administrators can enforce a policy that requires a passcode on all phones linked to the corporate Exchange Server.

     

    If that's the case, you'll either have to live with the passcode or live without your corporate e-mail.

    Thanks! I dislike this upgrade, the graphics are flat. the worst part was the lockscreen. Now I can turn it on when I leave the house, instead of either draining my battery by leaving it on or constantly unlock it
