My daughter's iPhone requiring passcode, when I thought I'd turned that off!!!!

[despondentatwork]

Hi there! In desperation, before I have to wipe it. Confiscated her phone & didn't want her to have access until I'd checked it. Now it's asking for a passcode & the one she had been using won't work!!! TYIA.

How old is your daughter

You won’t be able to wipe it without the passcode

Surely you just keep it until she gives you the passcode?

My fingerprint is registered on DS's phone, so the passcode is irrelevant. Can you do that?

Until you can I'd do what Hwory said!

I agree with others.

Keep it until she tells you the password.

How old is DD? If she is 11, confiscate until you are happy ; if she is 15 , have a conversation.

Do t think you can turn passcodes off. You certainly can't do anything as big as wiping it without one.

It's a really bad idea for a phone to not have a passcode on it, surely? I realise you must have some reason to want to be able to monitor her phone, but having no code on it so that anyone can access it is not a good solution.
