I never set a passcode for my iPhone 6s but now it's asking me for one?

I never set a passcode for my iPhone 6s but now it's asking me for one.

Why would my iPhone 6s ask for a passcode when I never had one before?

I don't know, and I've never experienced that. Since there is no default passcode to override anything, your options are limited to entering the passcode (I assume you're referring to the lock screen passcode) or restoring your device via iTunes.

It may be the same code used in Settings for fingerprint and etc. You must have set one up. Like for restrictions. Use that one!
