So my sister gave me her old Iphone 11 to use because mine broke and the reset went smoothly until it asked for the old passcode which was a 6 digit passcode, now it only gives me option to enter 4 digits and i cant figure out how to change this. Can anyone help me please?

It’s more people are creatures of habit , if it asked me for a 4 digit pin , I’d use the first 4

You can reset the phone with no pin, but it will erase it

Put the phone into recovery mode , and restore iOS using iTunes on a PC , or finder on a Mac
