You uninstall the profile, go to the passcode lock, enter the passcode you were using, and turn off passcode should appear. Touch that and enter the passcode once more. And then finally it should go back to your general settings. Click passcode lock again and it should show the number pad to set one with only 4 numbers.

Ah, solved already. Closing both the utility and iTunes and then restarting iTunes did the trick.. :P
