Steps to remove the long passcode
Authored by: amutti on Sep 05, '08 07:22:29AM

I've replied to 3 or 4 emails so I figured I'd post the "fix" as a comment to the hint.

To undo the long passcode follow these instructions:

  1. Open the "Settings" application.
  2. Tap the "General" option.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the General screen and tap "Profiles."
  4. On the Profiles screen tap the profile you wish to remove (in this case the one setting the long alphanumeric passcode).
  5. When the profile info is displayed, tap the "Remove" button.
  6. Confirm that you want to remove the profile -- tap the "Remove" button.
  7. Type in your long passcode when prompted.
  8. When the profile has been removed you will be left on the Profiles screen.
  9. Tap the general arrow in the upper left.
  10. Scroll up to the "Passcode Lock" option on the General screen and tap it.
  11. On the Passcode Lock screen tap "Turn Passcode Off."
  12. Type in your long passcode.
  13. Tap the "OK" button in the upper right.
  14. When complete you will be on the General screen.
  15. The long passcode has been removed, if you wish to enable the original short numeric passcode continue with steps 16 - 18.
  16. Tap the "Passcode Lock" option.
  17. You will be prompted to enter a simple 4-digit passcode.
  18. Done.
