Q: How do I turn off passcode on Apple Watch?
I Have a passcode on my iPhone (if I don't use the fongerprint feature). I set a passcode on my phone but now want to turn it off. When I go to the passcode screen on my watch the "turn passcode off " feature is gray and won't function. Same with the app on the phone. Does anyone know how to access the phone without the need to enter the passcode when you don't have "unlock with iPhone" set on the phone? Thanks much
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2.1, Passcode options

Hi
As the Turn Passcode Off button is greyed out, passcode restrictions may be enforced on your iPhone (via a corporate configuration profile, mobile device management or Exchange policy).
Where passcode restrictions are set on a managed iPhone, they also affect Apple Watch. In such cases, it will not therefore be possible to turn off the watch's passcode.
If your iPhone is managed in this way, contact your device administrator for further information and help.
