Part 1. Why is My iPhone Passcode Changed Itself?

As part of its drive to increase security, since the launch of iOS 9, Apple now and ever requests a six-digit passcode instead of a four-digit one when setting up a new or newly updated iPad or iPhone. When we update the iOS version, or restart the phone, then it is possible that iPhone passcode change itself from a four-digit code to six-digit, or the reverse. This can be resulted from the data corruption, bugs of the apps, that someone changed your phone code, the security measure of Apple, or purely, an error of the phone itself.

One certain thing is that Apple won’t change our iPhone passcode as they don’t have it. When going to custom service we are likely to get the answer “It is impossible to happen!” However, we need to solve this issue.

You’ll need use iTunes and erase your device which deletes all your data, unless you made a resent backup. Or you can also try the ultimate solution to unlock without limitations.
