Is there a way to "fully" disable, or delete, the passcode lock feature on an iPad?

i am incharge of 50 iPads for ur schol district and have been creating profiles and enabling restrictions on the iPads. today i came across the 'passcode lock' feature, that i am sure all are fimiliar with. if i set that with a code, any student can use that same code to reset the passcode to anythng their little hearts desire. ca this feature be removed from the iPads .. or at least hidden?
Michael

Sorry but no, there is not, at least none I've heard of. There are several such issues that complicate the use of iPads in classrooms. Most school districts I've read comments from here seem to just have gotten used to the idea that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads from time to time.
Regards.

  • Bought Used macbook pro, don't have administrator password and don't have the OS disc. Is there a way I can reset or delete the password?

    I recently bought a used macbook pro. I can pretty much do everything I need on it until I want to change setting and such things. Then it asks me for an administrator password which I do not know or have. On top of that I do not have the OS disc either. Is there a way I can SAFELY reset or delete the password so I can set my own without the possibility of screwing thing up. LIke I said I can do most anything. I figured this out when attempting to tether it to my smartphone for internet access (I do all the time from my desktop but my desktop is a PC so things are a little different) I am a very new mac user, I have always been a devoted PC user until now. I have to say I am really loving my macbook pro I may just stick with mac from now on (if I can get this problem figured out without too much stress.
    I am looking for the safest and best way to fix this issue where nothing I do would mess up the laptop. I can use it now and I do not want that to change, I just want to be able to change my setting and set a password of my own. PLEASE HELP, THANX!

    Hi
    There actually is a slightly easier way in OS X 10.5 or greater.
    1. Start up in single-user mode (hold Command-S as the computer starts up).
    2. Type: mount -uw /
    3. Press Return.
    4. Type this:
    passwd (user's short name)
    Replace "(user's short name)" with the short name of the user account whose password you wish to reset. If you are not sure what the account name is, you can get a list of user names by typing: ls /Users
    5. Press Return.
    6. Enter a new user password.
    7. Press Return.
    8. Type: reboot
    9. Press Return.

  • I have accidentally deleted the content on one of my notes and I need it back, is there a way?, I have accidentally deleted the content on one of my notes and I need it back, is there a way?

    Ok so I am writing a novel and I do it when I walk the dog mostly so a lot of it is done in notes. After a particularly long walk as the creative juices were flowing I had written about 3000 words.
    I wanted to email it to my laptop so I could carry on when I got home and I know I could have sent it directly from there but when you do that the email subject ends up being the whole body of text and you have the faf of deleting it so I selected the whole text and meant to press copy so I can paste it in toan email but instead pressed paste.
    All of my work has gone, replaced by the last thing I copy pasted.
    Can I get that text back? Please, please help.

    The preferences files generated by the Preferences API are namedcom.apple.java.util.prefs. The user’s preferences file is stored in their home directory (~/Library/Preferences/). The system preferences are stored in /Library/Preferences/and are only persisted to disk if the user is an administrator.

  • My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account .  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2.  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time?

    How come I have to put in a keychain password every time safari or mail is opened? Is there a way I can disable it or save the password so it doesn't pop up every time? Also, I have my mail account set up from my Yahoo! account and every time I open mail, it asks for the password for my Yahoo! account. I have checked save this password to keychain and it persists on popping up repeatedly.

    You don't want to disable keychain (if there's even a good way to do so), since it stores stuff like certificates and the such.  It's quite useful.
    Anyways, Keychains>Preferences>First Aid.  Check Set Login Keychain as default.  When you login, it unlocks the keychain.
    That should help you.

  • Is there a way to temporarily disable the iPod in the iPhone. I am trying to stream from an app and it gets overridden by the iPod initializing

    Is there a way to temporarily disable the iPod within my iPhone. I am trying to stream music using an app and a dock on my Sony AIR and the stream is over ridden by the iPod starting up.

    First of all, an idle threat is one that a person has no intention of carrying out. In the past 16 months that I have had this phone I have become less and less satisfied and found that it is like much of today's technology....over rated and under performing. The one thing that I have never been accused of is not wanting, or not giving help but when a company makes itself unavailable to resolve issues and leaves it to forums run by users helping users, it speaks more about the company than anything else they could do. As I said, I do not make idle threats and I did not threaten you in any way. Guess I'll call this topic done with as it is not and was not the intent to get a war started    

  • Is there a way to temporarily disable Quicktime in Windows 7?

    Is there a way to temporarily disable Quicktime in Windows 7? I can't download any music from sites other than itunes, a player opens and streams the song instead. I download a lot of music and I'm crippled

    I can't download any music from sites other than itunes, a player opens and streams the song instead.
    That is a setting in your browser that tells it what to do with an MP3 file.  For example, if you are using Firefox, go to Options > Applications.  For "MP3 Format Sound," change it from QuickTime to "Always Ask."
    Other browsers have similar settings.

  • Does this computer have gps (my daughter's was just stolen), is there a way to remotely disable it?

    does this computer have gps (my daughter's was just stolen), is there a way to remotely disable it?

    First off, I'm sorry to hear about the theft of your daughter's computer.  The good news is that all Apple computers have their serial number in multiple places (depending on the model) and Apple maintains a list of every one of them.  Do you have the serial number?  If not, you can get it from the retailer you purchased it from.
    As far as GPS and disabling it, it is going to depend on several factors but the short answer is probably not.  I mean, Yes, there is a a way to detect location in most modern Mac's through a web browser using Geolocation (W3C API) but there is no onboard GPS; disabling the machine remotely would require you to have 'Back to my Mac' already set up on it from iCloud.  There might also be some third party tools available that I'm not aware of.
    Again, I'm really sorry to hear about the stolen computer.  I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if you have any other questions.
    BTW, what model and year is the computer that was stolen?

  • Is there any way to permanently disable(not usable) your iPod touch while you still have it?

    Is there any way to permanently disable Itouch 4th gen

    Only password on lock screen and restrictions for certain apps could be helpful in that case.
    But restoring will remove this protection and delete all data, so make sure that other people can not take your iPod away from you.
    Other than that, no.
