On my iPad mini 2 (iOS 11), I can't turn off passcode. Any help?

I need to turn of the passcode lock on my iPad but the button is greyed out so I am unable to turn it off. Please help.

iPad Mini Wi-Fi, iOS 11, null

Hi samtiger16. Just to clarify, this may be caused by a profile in Settings > General > Profiles, which may enforce a security policy. Incidentally, a passcode is a good thing anyway, in case you ever lose or misplace your device.

Do you have an Exchange account on this iPad? It's possible that a provision on your account is preventing you from removing it. Contact the administrator, or delete the account if you no longer use it.
