Cannot turn off passcode lock on ipad ios 7.0.3

I am unable to turn off passcode lock on an iPad running IOS7.0.3.  When I get to the screen in Settings > General > Passcode Lock, "Turn Passcode Off" is greyed out and cannot be used.  Hence I am stuck with having to enter a passcode even though I don't want to any longer.  The problem is not that I do not know the passcode, simply that I can't turn off the passcode lock.  Any thoughts?

is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.

  • Cannot turn off Passcode Lock

    This started happening suddenly. It always asks for a passcode now. I cannot disable it in Settings. Another feature that's disabled is "erase all data after 4 failed attempts." Yikes! I have the iPhone 3GS, updated to iOS4 a while ago and it had been working fine until now. Tried restarting but it didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    try going to your iphone summary page on itunes after you have plugged your phone in. Right in the middle there is a restore tab where you can put your phone back to original settings, after that u can then put the new os4 system back on. good luck

  • HT4113 Can not turn off passcode lock

    I can not turn off passcode lock. I see it and it is grayed out. I can change the password, etc. but I can not turn it off  I plugged the phone into a friends computer a few days ago to charge it. Does that have something to do with it?

    There is an exchange account on the device and the Admins of that account require a passcode lock on the device.

  • Cannot turn off passcode after ios8 upgrade - iPad mini

    Upgraded iPad mini to ios8 and cannot turn off the passcode.  In settings, I can turn it off but it tells me that I need to set a passcode within 60 minutes.  It then counts down and requires me to set a passcode once 60 minutes are up.  Also does not let me change duration of passcode (from immediately to 4 hours for example).  Any thoughts on how to turn it off?  Thanks.

  • Turn off fading lock screen in ios 7.0

    I have updated my iphone to iso 7.0, but I do not like the fading in and out on the lock screen. I can't figure out how to turn the feature off. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

    Completely agree with all the complaints here.  This riddiculous fading activity reminds me of MS Windows in the late 90's when they started having the menu options fade in and out.  I don't want to wait and watch the "cool" animation when I want to get something done -- I just want to do it!
    This iOS Romper Room edition (or Playschool Edition if you prefer) is certainly annoying.  It's as if they are trying to make a retro-look so we can all remember what it was like before there were things like 256 colors on monitors.
    I hope they add in the ability to switch off this time-consuming fade and A LOT MORE of the new graphical elements.

  • Cannot turn off scroll lock on Macbook Pro

    Have read all of the discussions on this topic and tried every proposed resolution, - none work: Cannot enter data or move between cells in Excel for MAC.
    - shift+fn+f12, plus every suggested combination of shift +/or fn +/or cmd + soft keys
    - there is no keyboard/scroll icon anywhere in the Excel window
    - checked fn box in system preferences for keyboard
    - have no f14 key and no external keyboard
    This just occurred, so I must have accidentally locked it via keystrokes, which implies there's a keystroke combo to undo it. I appreciate any help - thank you!

    I had this happen to me today and like you tried every possible combination of keystroke. I restarted my Macbook Pro and this solved the problem.

  • TS4006 My passcode requirement was turned off when I updated to iOS 7. It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer  won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off.

    My passcode requirement was turned off prior to updating to iOS 7.
    It is now requiring my Passcode, but I cannot remember it! And computer  won't let me synch because "Find My iPad" app is turned on, which I obviously cannot turn off without getting into iPad Settings.
    Do I really have to Reset the iPad?

    Yes, you will need to restore your iPad.  This link will help restore from a lost passcode:

  • Turn off scroll lock

    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and cannot turn off scroll lock, so when using Excel the arrow keys move the spreadsheet rather than the next cell.  I have searched numerous threads and all refer to F14 plus either shift or command but I can't find any reference to the shortcut for F14.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem (Macbook Air) and the only way I could solve it was by plugging in a USB keyboard (it was a microsoft keyboard) then pressing shift-Scroll Lock.
    Simply pressing Scroll-Lock only activated the keyboard illumination control so did not work.

  • Turning off Opportunistic Locking in Windows 2012 Server?

    I have recently switched my database hosting and am having trouble with "Hour Glass" for about 20-30 seconds when trying to save files.  I have contacted my application company (Resumate..........database,CRM built on an ACCESS type platform)
    and we are brainstorming solutions.
    One solution is to turn off opportunistic locking as Windows might actually be locking the file (We have five users using the same file connecting using Remote Desktop Services).  Our system has worked seemlessly with our other hosting
    option but this delay when trying to save files is not acceptable.
    SO, HOW DO WE TURN OFF OPPORTUNISTIC LOCKING IN WINDOWS SERVER 2012 R2?
    Thanks Phil H.   Charlotte, NC

    Hi,
    As you may notice that we cannot disable Opportunistic locking in using SMB2 or SMB3.
    See:
    https://login.live.com/kb/296264/en-us
    The opportunistic locking registry keys are valid only for traditional SMB (SMB1). You cannot turn off opportunistic locking for SMB2.
    From your description it is the limitation of the application - SMB2 comes with Windows Vista /Windows 2008, which means the vendor of the application did not recommend to use SMB2 or the application is released for earlier systems while SMB2 is not available
    at that time.
    If there is no update version, you can try to disable SMB2/3 on server to workaround it. Please run this cmdlet:
    Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $false
    More information please refer to:
    How to enable and disable SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3 in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012

    Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go. Also, it is iOS 8.2 that you are trying to install since that is the current version. I had no problems updating my mini today so hopefully yours will go well too.
