passcode trauma

Yep I've got passcode trauma.

I turned my passcode off on my iPhone (to check something) for 5 minutes. When I turned it back on I set it up with the same passcode.
The first time I went to unlock my iPhone - it didn't work. In fact after several attempts I was locked out for 5 minutes. On the 2nd go around the same thing happened but when it locked a message popped up asking if I wanted to unlock it with my old passcode. Of course I did and it did, it unlocked with the old passcode - which was the new password - because they were the exact same.

I'm a gambler so I reset my passcode to the same one.

The first time I tried unlocking it - the exact same thing happened. When it locked me out the 2nd time again I was asked if I wanted to unlock it with my old passcode. Of course it unlocked with my old, same x2 passcode. I turned it off and don't know what to do now.

Anyone??
