This may not be the place to ask for help with my I-phone but I need help.
I'm a Luddite who got her first computer -- a Tandy from Radio Shack -- in 1983. I even wrote a genealogy program for it. It was primitive, but it did its job until we got a CPM -- a Morrow and Roots in 1984. We were ahead of the curve for years. Mr. Thirties wrote a computer column, first for UPI and then for the AJC, which Cox syndicated. I reviewed something like 40 word processerors --at least it felt like 40 word processors -- and I never would have guessed that Word would come out on top. I loved Xywrite, hated to give it up when we had to go to DOS.
My sister, who is an anti-Luddite, gave me an I-phone, and I somehow gave it a password that I have to use whenever I want to use the phone. I HATE it, can't see that I need the password, want to know how to get rid of it. I have a virtual meeting with my doctor Wednesday, and would like to be password-less by then. So -- can any of you anti-Luddites tell me how to get rid of it.
Thanks and I'll send Sainthood points your way, assuming you want them and assuming I can do it.

It's called 'Passcode' and you can change it in settings.
Assuming it's a reasonably recent version of iPhone and iOS ... launch the Settings application (the gear in a gear) and scroll down until you see "Touch ID & Passcode" (or maybe Face ID & Passcode, I've got an older phone with just touch id).
There's an entry on that page to turn off passcode or to change it.
Suggest instead though that you train it for touch id (or face id) and keep your phone locked. It's surprising how much damage can be done if it's stolen and not protected!
