Ever wanted to protect your iPhone or iPod Touch with more than four numbers? You could do that for quite some time with a jailbroken app, but there’s also a solution for non-jailbroken devices, which is more legit and has been brought to us by the good folks of 9to5mac.com. They’ve built a profile from Apple’s corporate development kit that allows alphanumeric passcodes.
To set a new password, which can contain both numbers and letters, simply point Safari to 9to5mac.com/9to5mac.mobileconfig and from there you can pick the new password. To make things even more secure, you won’t be able to use numbers in a consecutive order — i.e. intomobile1234 won’t work, whereas intomobile3124 will do just fine. Afterwards, if you ever want to remove this feature, you can do that from Settings -> General -> Profiles -> 9to5mac.
It’s that easy and it adds additional security on your iDevice, though I’m sure everyone needs that – I know I don’t. 
Finally, in case you want to make your own profile (and not use the one made by 9to5mac), iClarified got you covered. They prepared a do-it-yourself tutorial how to make that happen.
Please note that IntoMobile is not responsible for any problems you may have with forgetting your password. We just wanted to share a tip…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
