iPad Passcode - This is a 4-digit code that locks your iPad and protects your information should your iPad find itself in someone else’s hands.

To set the Passcode:

  1. Go to Settings → Hit General
  2. Under General there is the Passcode Lock settings. Select Passcode Lock
  3. Turn Passcode Lock on → Enter your desired 4-digit code → Enter once more

Passcode lock is now set.

Each time your iPad goes to sleep or you place your cover on it, your Passcode will need to be entered.
