How do I put a passcode lock on my iPad 3?

I've searched videos on Youtube and other places and they all say that there is a passcode lock option under the general category in settings. I seem to have no such option. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I wish I could give you a good answer for that question. It could just be an honest mistake, and there is the possibility that I am totally wrong about this. But like I said, I know that I have been in other discussions with users that were missing Restrictions and the Passcode Lock in the settings. I could swear that the one user followed up after going back to the store and confirmed that he had indeed purchased a demo.
You have several options here. You could restore the device and see if the settings come back. That's a bit drastic but its a possibility to try.
You could reset all settings and see if the settings return. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
Finally, you could take the iPad back to the store and drop it in their laps and ask them what's up with the iPad. There is something amiss and maybe they can straighten it out for you. If they can't, I would ask for a refund or a replacement.

    You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
    Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?

    ask the person who changed the passcode what they changed it to. no other way to fix it without restoring it.

  • I have activated the passcode lock on my iPad sometimes ago and now I forgot it, I entered several passcode but did not work, now the iPad is disabled and would not connect to iTunes. What can I do to unlock my iPad

    I have activated the passcode lock on my iPad sometimes ago and now I foregot it, I entered several passcode but non was correct, now the iPad nis disabled and would not connect to the iTunes. what can be done to unlock my iPad?

    If you've forgotten the passcode then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

    On both your devices go to Settings>iCloud, then scroll down and click "Delete Account". You can then sign back in using your updated details.
    Note: "Delete Account" will not delete data from iCloud, it will simply remove the account from your device.

  • My daughter has put a passcode lock on her ipod and she doesnt remember it. How can I fix it?

    please help me fix my daughters ipod. she has put a passcode on and cant remember it.

    The only way to do that is to restore the iPod. Check the user guide, page 158 (or so).
    If you forgot its password the device has to be restored. Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter.  Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".

  • How do I put a passcode on movies to prevent kids from watching?

    We have an iPad 2 for our son and we allow him to play spelling and math games on it. We do, however, have some movies on it that we occasionally let him watch. We would like to be able to put a passcode on the Movies app so he is not able to just launch movies whenever he has time with the iPad.
    Is there any way to do this?
    It would not be very convenient to remove the movies via sync and only put them on when we want him to watch them (and me may forget on that long road trip, and be stuck with out them).
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    ~vK

    Try settings, general, restrictions
    remember the passcode because if you forget it you'll have to reset the device.
    Then set your movie ratings down to the leve you want and see if htat prevents your child from accessing it
    It won't lock out everything as far as I understand it, but can keep him from watching the ones you don't want hime to see.
    As far as I know, there is no way to totally block out the movie app.

  • How do I put a password lock on the Settings app in IOS?

    Hello All,
    How do I place a password lock on the settings in the Settings app on IOS devices? Be aware that I do not mean the password lock to wake the device from sleep.
    Thanks,
    Harry

    You can setup Restrictions...
    Tap Settings > General > Restrictions
    AFAIK, it's not possible to attach a password for access to the Settings.

  • How can you disable the passcode lock

    I thought I might like the pass code lock activated and I did do that, but now I wish to de-activate it and when I went in and turned off the passcode, and shut the down and turned it back on, it did not work,,my phone is an unlocked phone,,did I just turn it from and unlocked phone to a locked phone permently,,confussed!

    Settings/general/passcode lock then enter passcode and then tap turn passcode off  The fact that your phone is unlocked is not relevant.  IF you do what I said and don't turn the phone off as you have done it should work
