ArticMine thank you. I learned something new and important. Do you have any citation to backup your claim of Apple's recommend policy of using an insecure password and their DRM?
Tap Turn Passcode On.
Enter a six-digit passcode. Or tap Passcode Options to switch to a four-digit numeric code, a custom numeric code, or a custom alphanumeric code.

This was changed fairly recently, and yes I agree it is still pretty trivial to crack. Interestingly there are some, err, "bugs" that will sometimes require you to set specifically a 4 digit passcode. You can change it later, but some people won't...
