TURNING THE PASSCODE LOCK ON
5 minutes
Locking your iPad means that if you leave it
somewhere or it is stolen, you can be confident
no-one can access your content. Setting up
a passcode lock is easy.
A screen lock helps protects the contents of your
tablet from unauthorised use. When the passcode
lock is turned on, it needs to be keyed in every time
you turn on your iPad, and when it has been in sleep
mode. Here's how it's done:
Tap Settings, then tap Passcode. The passcode
function is represented by a red padlock icon.
Tap Turn Passcode On on the right side of the
screen.
Type four numbers into the numeric keypad,
then re-type the numbers to confirm your
passcode. Be sure it's a number you can
remember, and make a note of it somewhere.
Alternatively, click Passcode Options to use
a longer or alphanumeric code.
Next, tap Require Passcode. Select Immediately
or one of the other options - 5 minutes, for
example. Whenever the iPad is inactive for
that period of time, you will need to enter the
passcode to use it again.
Press the Home button to return to the
Home screen.
Remember, you can change the passcode as
many times as you like.
