If you ever want to lock an Apple iPad
July 22, 2011 Computer Tips And Tricks
If you have an iPad which is accessible to many different people, that’s no problem as the iPad comes with the same nifty feature to
lock its screen with a password as its cousin the iPhone has. There are various reasons why you would like to have this feature enabled. Should you find yourself in a corporate environment or living space with many idle hands, you can protect your iPad and your privacy by enabling this feature and locking your iPad.
The process is really rather simple, as it makes use of the same 4 digit password which will lock your iPad. It really is a self-explanatory process to follow, but choose your password wisely and remember it, as there really is little in life that can be as frustrating as forgetting passwords and having to take the iPad into the shop to get it restored. Follow these steps to set up a password for your Apple iPad.
- Click on the “Settings” button on the home menu
- Click on the “Auto-Lock” setting and choose the amount of time the iPad will be left idle before automatically locking
- Click on the “General” tab on the top left, and choose “Passcode Lock”
- Enable the Passcode Lock, and you will be prompted to enter your 4 digit password
After you complete the above steps, your iPad will be ready for business! Test it out by waiting a while for your iPad to lock automatically and test your new password.
