Turn Simple Passcode on or off: Choose General > Passcode Lock, then turn Simple

A simple passcode is a four-digit number. To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode
and use a longer passcode with a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and
special characters.
Turn Voice Dial on or off: Choose General > Passcode Lock, then turn Voice Dial on
or off.
Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts: Choose General > Passcode Lock,
enter your passcode, and tap Erase Data to turn it on.
After ten failed passcode attempts, all settings are reset, and all your information and
media are erased by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted
using 256-bit AES encryption).

YouTube access entirely.

Disable Restrictions, then reenter the passcode.

Important:

If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPhone software from

iTunes. See “Updating and Restoring iPhone Software” on page 256.

off. By default, all controls are on (not restricted). Tap an item to turn it off and restrict
its use.
