Create a complicated iPad passcode?

Category: Apple iPad Help

You're going to laugh, Dave, but my kids keep figuring out the simple four-digit numeric passcode I use on my iPad. They then log in and read my email, buy stuff, and generally raise Cain. It's awful. I don't want to lock up my device. Is there a way I can have a more complicated, harder to guess password or passcode on my iPad 3?

Can Apple iPad devices be password protected or secured?

Category: Apple iPad Help

My kids keep sneaking my iPad and playing games on it without my permission. I know, I know, it's a parenting issue, not a technology issue, but I just feel that if in addition to talking with them about honesty, trust and honor, if I can add a password to the iPad to prevent easy access, I'd have a backup if they were still being sneaky. I'm sure I can set a password up on my iPad, but how?
