If you believe your iPhone has been compromised, changing the passcode will increase its security. Fortunately, changing the passcode on your iPhone is simpler than you would imagine.
To change the passcode on iPhone:
- Launch the Settings app.

- To proceed, enter your current passcode.
- Scroll down the list and select Change Passcode.
- On the Change Passcode screen, enter your existing passcode once more.

- To choose a more secure passcode that isn’t a normal 6 or 4-digit number (such as an alphanumeric passcode), tap Passcode Options.
- Choose from Custom Alphanumeric Code, Custom Numeric Code, or 4-Digit Numeric Code.

- Choose the approach you wish to employ and then press Next.
- Once you’ve made your selection, key in your new passcode again and press Done.
