password

apparently, i have a 4-digit passcode for allowing changes on iPhone to passcode and account. I know my 6 digit main passcode, but none of my expected 4 digit codes are working. i don't want to get locked out. Any way to retrieve/change it? i know my apple id passcode. (this all happened when i was turning off face id for security purposes. the irony!) thx

iPhone 12

My iPad passcode changed after manual update Hi! I did a manual update on my iPod last week. When I tried to open my account the passcode was changed. I did NOT change it! I have 1 try left before it is permanently locked. My computer is broken so the only working device I have is my iPhone. Since the ipad doesn't have the forgot passcode ability. Is there anything I can do with my phone To open it? I have fingerprint requirements after using passcode. My Facebook account was hacked last year. A Nigeria man is holding it hostsge for money!! I am not a tech person, so I worry he changed my passcode somehow. I wonder if my fingerprint requirement after I put in passcode would stop someone who got my passcode?? I appreciate any info you all may have! Blessings, Deanna [Re-Titled by Moderator]

That sounds a bit like a ScreenTime password.

If so, and you didn’t set it, check with others who might have. (e.g. Family Organizer, Employer … )

Also see if this might apply:
