\n<\/table>\nSimple Passcode<\/h1>\n
By default, Simple Passcode is on. This means the iPad will ask you for a four digit Passcode. If you switch simple passcode to off, the iPad will prompt you to enter an alphanumeric (combination of letters and numbers) password. Again there’s a trade off. Longer more complex passwords should be in general more secure but typing a longer password every time you need to access your iPad can be a hassle. I prefer to use a simple passcode.<\/p>\n
Picture Frame<\/h1>\n
If this setting is turned off, the iPad won’t be able to be used as a picture frame while the device is locked.<\/p>\n
Erase Data<\/h1>\n
If the erase data setting is on, the iPad will delete all its data after 10 failed login attempts. If you are afraid your iPad might get lost or stolen and you have confidential and private information you want to protect, this setting is there to help you address those concerns.<\/p>\n
Auto-Lock<\/h1>\n
Your iPad can be configured to sleep automatically after a certain amount of time. It is important to enable this setting together with Passcode Lock because if you leave your iPad unattended without Auto-Lock, the device will not go into standby or sleep mode and it will not get locked. No lock means anybody can access your iPad.<\/p>\n
To enable auto-lock, tap the Home button, then settings.<\/p>\n
