My iPad2 keeps asking me to enter my password after updating to iOS5.1

Hello,
I can't find the answer to this after lots of searching and it's driving me crazy!
My iPad2 keeps reverting back to the Lock screen and asks me to enter my password. This happens whilst in the middle of using apps, especially ones that involve video. This only started this week when it was updated to iOS5.1. When I sign back in, it is just on my Home screen and the app has shut down. When I go back into the app it isn't at the point that it forced me to leave it.
It is not technically my iPad and as a result I've got to have certain settings on it - I've got to have a password of at least 8 characters and I'm not allowed to reset the whole thing. I can't turn those settings off.
I have tried a restart by pressing the lock and home buttons at the same time, but that hasn't worked.
Is it possible to just go back to using iOS5? Or is there another way of fixing it?
Any advice would be appreciated!

I don't know of a way to lock out of Settings. However, go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Although you cannot restrict settings, there are some other things that you can restrict, like app purchases, etc. Basically, what this will do is require a 4-digit passcode SEPARATE from the one used to unlock the iPad. No one can use features that you have chosen to restrict without knowing the password.

  • TS4002 icloud keeps asking for me enter my password, when i do...it asks again and again..

    icloud mail keeps asking me to enter my password over and over...very frustrating.

    Here is the fix:
    1. Shut down Mail.  Next, deselect "iCloud Mail" in the iCloud preferences pane in System Preferences FIRST.  If not, it will automatically pre-populate the wrong p9X.mail.me.com server names again overwriting all your work.
    2. Now restart Mail and go to preferences.  If "iCloud" mail is still showing, select it and click on the "-" at the bottom to remove it.
    3. Now follow the instructions here: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html (disregard that this is for Snow Leopard, it DOES work on Lion) paying attention to the use of the "option" key when needed to avoid Mail automatically "creating" the account and closing out the preferences window.
    4. Ensure the correct server names of "imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com" are still there and close Mail preferences and now select "get mail".  It may prompt one last time for your iCloud password, enter it and you are done.
    Good Luck.

  • Ipad keeps asking me to enter my password for my Apple ID

    I have a 4th Generation 16GB 9.7" ipad, iOS  7.1.2, ipad.  Woke up this morning and got a message on my iPad telling me to enter my password for my Apple ID to sign  into the iCloud.  I couldn't do anything else.  I couldn't access any other screen.  I turned off the ipad.  The message was still there.  I thought it was a major problem, so I decided to restore the iPad.  I connected the ipad with a USB cable to my computer then followed the prompts for backing up and then restoring the ipad.  Took about 1 hour.  Afterwards, the message was still there. 
    I finally resorted to entering my password on the ipad for my Apple ID to sign into the cloud.  I do not really use the cloud, and don't remember for what purpose that I set up the cloud on this ipad.  After entering my password for the Apple ID, I proceeded to delete my icloud account on this ipad. 
    Was this original prompt a normal message ?  Why did I get this message ?

  • After the latest iTunes update, why does it keep asking me to enter my password to check for downloads?

    After the latest iTunes upgrade, every time you open up iTunes, a window pops up asking you to sign in with your Apple ID to check for available downloads?  Why is it asking this if your account is already stored on the computer?  How do you stop this from asking each time?  Thanks.

    Hi Skip_Collins,

  • Mail Keep asking For my AOL Mail Password after last update

    Every once in a while  (about 3 times a day) mail pops up asking for my aol password (i never chanegd it). It even saves my password when the message pops up all i have to do is hit save.
    Ive searched the net up and down but what i found works for a short period of time, Then it pops up again.
    This is what pops up in console, ive blanked out my info. I dont know what twitter and facebook have anything to do with it but hopefully someone can help me fix this problem, its very annoying. especially since it always worked fine untill i updated.
    This started happening after i updated to 10.9.1 which is odd because this and the previous update was supposed to fix this alot of osx mail problems that i never had in the first relase of mavericks.
    Thanks in advance!

    This is what keeps popping up.

  • Why does my itouch constantly ask for my Apple ID password after updating to OS 5.1 even when I just leave it alone?

    Ever since I updated to OS 5.1 my itouch has been asking me for my Apple ID password roughly about 6 times a day when I just leave it alone, like I'm not even downloading anything for it to even ask for my password so what is the deal? I've already tried doing a hard reset, still the same. And no I have not done a factory restore that's just a last step I'll ever do, it's just annoying to be constantly asked for my password.

    You might have some app updates or other itmes that are trying to download.

    Kernel panics are usually hardware.
    Hold down 'd' key and it should boot into Apple Hardware Test, or insert your OEM install DVD to do so.
    No, we are mere users and mortals and usually you need to do some troubleshooting by trial and error and testing. Schedule an appointment.
