I have the same issue as Scott and fetcom. No button for “turn passcode off” I’ve tried syncing, re-installing the latest software, etc. I could really use help on this!

I have the same problem with scott. There is no “passcode off” icon on passcode lock menu. Please help me to turn off the passcode lock I’ve already set.

i have a new 3G and set my passcode, but now I want to turn off the passcode lock feature and there is no icon for “passcode off” under the passcode lock page, it should be above the “change passcode” icon by pictures i have seen

I set the passcode to go off at 1 minute but after one minute of using, it doesn’t seem to turn up! I can lock and unlock without the password coming up. Why? Btw, I am on firmware 3.0

I know the procedure to set pass lock but it does not work. I cannot get it from “off” to back to “on”

With that 10 failed attempt erase thing, is it 10 in a row? Or like try it three times, shut it off, try it again 9 times, shut it off, try again 5, etc? Or 10 total no matter what?

I have set the passcode lock, but does it really able to block my data if it is stolen. I understand from my subscriber that it is still not of any use as the thief can just change a sim card and still access to my data. is it true ?

This works, but how to lock the phone without having to wait for the time until it get locked automatically. In another word, if I want to lock it now without having to wait for the one or 10 minute? i could not see an option for this..Thanks

I just got my iphone yesterday. I set the passcode lock, entered my four digit pin and a call came through. I didnt think it took, (not used to it!) then a few minutes later I went to use it and it was locked. Oddly enough the four digits I had used did NOT unlock the darn thing. Does anyone know if this happens often? I know I entered them the same. I’m locked out for 60 minutes now. Thanks
