FAQ iPad Security

Lock your iPad --Turn on “Auto-Lock”.
This is the amount of time of inactivity before the iPad’s screen locked. Five minutes is a good overall time. Then turn on “Passcode Lock” to set a 4-digit pin to unlock the screen. The main idea of this recommendation is to think about the four-digit code you want to use to unlock your iPad when you turn it on or wake it up. It is also highly suggested that users set their iPads to erase all data if someone enters the wrong code 10 times. If you cause your data erase by accident you can always restore it by syncing your device with your computer.
