IPad 1 and disabling Passcode/lock option on Find My IPad

I have an iPad 1. Just got the Find my IPad app after 3 years. But, after setting it up, I discovered that it locks and requires my password every time it goes to sleep or is turned off. I thought I could instruct it to be locked if I lost it and did not realize it would lock all the time. I have searched everywhere to see how to disable this but when I go to the LOCK option under this device in the Find My Ipad app as instructed, there is no option to turn the lock/ Passcode command off. I desparately want to get rid of the need to enter a Passcode. If I can't do it here, can I somehow cancel my subscription to Find My IPad? Help please!

I just found the solution elsewhere in the forum. Go to Settings/General/Passcode Lock/. When prompted, put in your Passcode. Now you will be able to switch it to OFF. It will ask yu to put your code in once again, and then, voila! The lock screen is forever gone!

HT5429 i have lost my iPad and it cannot be located by find my iPad. Trying to find serial number not having device?

My ipad had been lost or stolen. I do 't have device or packing so trying to find a way to find serial number?

Was it ever backed up to your computer's iTunes ? If it was then if you go into Edit > Preferences in iTunes and select the Devices tab, then if you hover the mouse pointer over the iPad's backup then the serial number should show : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
Or if it was registered to your account then you might be able to find it from your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/

Have you ever changed your passcode?
Try again. Maybe a typo?

I have lost my iPad 3 (3G). I do not use iCloud and I do not have the 'Find my iPad' app installed. What can I do to find it? Is there another way to bring up a map of where it is?

Although I have Telstra 3G

I dont know the opperating system but I only got it recently...
I also have a mac book pro also without iCloud.

Without Find My iPad having been enabled on it then there isn't any way to locate it - and that would only work if it's connected to a network and hasn't been wiped or had Find My iPad disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also contact your carrier and change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Is there any way to save my photos to my pc now that the ipad suddenly shows passcode locked?

i wonder if anyone can help my daughters ipad suddenly says passcode locked. we have never synced it, is there any way we can save the photos to our pc? or a disk? she never had a password for her ipad, so we cant open it. thank you

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

Passcode Lock Options

Only option under "Require Passcode" is "Immediately". So now i have to enter my passcode each time the screen goes blank (instead of the 4 hour option i had before.) This is a showstopper!

As I pointed out in this thread, the passcode lock option now does not seem to listen to the setting on the ActiveSync server:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2045901&tstart=0&messageID=966 1124#9661124
Can anyone confirm if they have a maximum timeout value configured on their ActiveSync server and whether the 3.0 iPhone actually respect this setting?

Photos on iPad and iPhone that i can't find on iPhoto...

Photos on iPad and iPhone that i can't find on iPhoto...

i have imported everything... photos have been deleted on iphoto but still show up on ipad and iphone... even after being synchronised.

Why cant I turn the passcode lock option off?

The "turn off" passscode lock option isn't lit when I touch it. In other words, I cant deactivate the passcode lock option.
Help?

If your phone was provisioned by your employer or by your Exchange account, that option may be deleted. You'll have to contact your IT dept.

IPad and wanting passcode it has never asked before.

I just updated to iOS 7 for and iPad and now I can't get into the iPad. It keeps demanding "Enter Passcode". I have never had a Passcode. Can't get into my iPad at all. What gives?

I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number. We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill. How can I remove their numbers and add mine?

Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

Move the video between iPads using Dropbox or an App like Photo Transfer.

I cannot get Reminders created on my Mac to cloud over to my iPad and iPhone. However, Reminders created on my iPad and iPhone DO cloud over to my Mac. Any advice?

I cannot get Reminders created on my Mac to "cloud over" to my iPad and iPhone. However, Reminders created on my iPad and iPhone DO "cloud over" to my Mac. iCloud settings on all three devices are the same. Any advice?

Thanks. Mine's a POP account, not a .Mac, so I'm not sure mine is the same issue. Thanks though. By the way, I did come across this thread that might help http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1273888&tstart=0. I plan on trying it later today when I have access to my Mac again.
