Disable iPhone Exchange Passcode lock

- Ensure iPhone is not hibernating and click Login.

c. delete the following file [ "/var/Managed Preferences/mobile/com.apple.springboard.plist" ]
- On deleting this file, password settings can immediately be changed/disabled within the "Settings>General" menu - be warned you will need to enter the password before you can disable it.
- Once the password is disabled, no reset appears to be required.
- I have rebooted for good measure, no awkward password is required (as it happens I have now applied the 4 char pin on initial phone access, but certainly no 15 min auto-lock!) and email synch still works.
