Security
Security features help protect the information on your iPad from being accessed by others.
Use a passcode with data protection
Initially, iPad doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it. You can set a passcode that
must be entered each time you turn on or wake up iPad.
Set a passcode. Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and set a 4-digit passcode.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail
messages and attachments stored on iPad, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may also
use data protection.)
Increase security. Turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s
a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPad using
the numeric keypad, set up a longer passcode using numbers only.
Allow access to features when iPad is locked. Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
Optional features include:
•
Siri (if enabled; see Siri settings on page 37)
Allow access to Control Center when iPad is locked. Go to Settings > Control Center. See Control
Center on page 27.
Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts. Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and
tap Erase Data. After ten failed passcode attempts, all settings are reset, and all your information
and media are erased by removing the encryption key to the data.
If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPad software. See Restore iPad on page 131.
