PassWORD or PassCODE? I just updated mine too and I believe the title at the top says Create a Passcode. If that's what you see, tap on Passcode Options (right above the keyboard) then tap Don't Add Passcode.

I've got the same problem, Tamr07, and the news doesn't look good: everything I've read says that you have to erase (and then hopefully restore) all your data; problem is, my mom didn't do a backup, and because she didn't see the Don't Add Passcode button on the keyboard after her update, will now lose all her data...

Good luck!
