Turn off passcode on iPad mini - iOS 7

Last night I downloaded the iOS 7 update and I noticed that on my iPad mini I have to enter in my passcode now on the lock screen. I did not have that before. I seem to can't find a way to turn off the passcode. Can someone tell me how to do that?
Thanks!

You can choose and use Apple default wallpapers on iPad from settings >> wallpapers & brightness. Here is a guide with screen capture for this issue, instructions to change ipad wallpaper

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.

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:

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.

Forgotten iPad Passcode after IOS 7 upgrade. Locked out, can't turn off Find my IPad to reset i Pad, Forgotten iPad Passcode after IOS 7 upgrade. Locked out, can't turn off Find my IPad to reset i Pad

iPad upgraded to IOS7. Passcode was asked. I have totally forgotten the passcode. Connected the iPad to my computer for a reset, but window popped up saying to turn off Find my iPad in Settings. How can I do this, when I'm locked out ?

For all of those who are still searching, here's what I did:
You need to get into "DFU mode".
In order to do this, you
1. must have synchronised your ipad with itunes before it was blocked
2. first connect your iPad to iTunes and there make a backup of your iPad
3. turn off your ipad and wait at least 5 seconds
4. connect your ipad to itunes
5. turn it on again, this time pressing Power and Home button at the same time and holding them for EXACTLY 10 seconds
6. let go of the Power button while still holding the Home button for EXACTLY another 10 seconds.
7. Your screen must be black now. There must NOT be a picture of a USB cable on the screen because that would be a different mode than the DFU mode.
8. Itunes tells you that your device is in DFU mode
9. Go to the "summary" tab in itunes and click restore iPad
10. itunes gives a warning that all data will be deleted and your iPad will be reset to factory settings.
11. You accept and click through the process
12. In the process, you may reinstall your backup. The password will not be reinstalled.

HT201210 cant restore my ipad from itunes after updating latest ios. message tells me to turn off 'find my ipad' from my ipad, but I can't because the set up is not complete without the restore. What do I do?

I don't know if I'm repeating my question. I can't restore my ipad after updating to latest ios. The battery went low, I had to eject and plug in to charge. The set up will not complete without resoring from icloud or itunes (i backed up to computer using itunes) or setting up the ipad as a New ipad. I want to restore all my stuff but the message I get in itune says "Find my ipad must be turned off before 'ipad' can be restored". Go to icloud settings on your ipad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad.". I cant' get to this setting on my ipad because the set up is not complete!!! I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid if I set up the ipad as new it will backup the new ipad over my previous backup and then I will loose all my photos, songs, aps, notes,......

I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''(

Hi!
I need to fix my iPad on IOS 7.
It has the password locked and says connect to iTunes I did, and synced it. Also tried to restore with backup from last May.
I know how to get it restored so the password fixes but...
The computer says "Turn off Find My iPad before restoring"
If I can't access the iPad's Settings how will I turn it off?
Please! Help!

It also may take a bit for Apple servers to update your information. You are sure it is this iPad that you removed from your Apple ID?
I would wait an hour or so and try it again. You may want to put it in Recovery Mode:

When I am attempting to reset my password that has been forgotten through a computer restore, iTunes gives me a prompt to turn off Find my iPad in iCloud settings. This is not possible, as my iPad mini is locked and settings are unaccessible.

When attempting to reset my iPad mini password that has been forgotten, I am unable to restore my device due to an error message stating that I "Need to turn off Find My iPad in iCloud settings on my iPad mini". This is not possible, as I have forgotten the password and can not open the device.

"I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on? its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4"
Pls help m out.
thanks

Connect the iPad to a charger, let it charge for half an hour, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
If that does not work, start iTunes on your computer, connect the USB end of the cable, then press and hold the power button on the iPad and connect the other end of the cable. Hold the power button for three seconds, and while continuing to hold it, press and hold the home button. Continue to hold both buttons for ten seconds and then release the power button but continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
When you release the home button, iTunes should now see the iPad and allow you to restore it.

How to turn off Find My iPad and delete iCloud Lock on iOS 7.1.1

How do I unlock Find My iPad or iCloud lock with out a password on iPad 2, 3, 4. I tried once on one iPad starting from iCloud, type oooooooo, the click OK and cancel. Then I went back to delete the word, "iCloud" click DONE and OK. Find My iPad wasn't deleted this time. I think the idea is to make sure Find My iPad is off. Then I can delete the LOCK or account that came with the device. HELP!

Thanks for your attention. The account's owner is unknown.
I didn't put in detailed information.
Believe it or not, I was able to remove iCloud lock on an iPad by hitting 8 zeros as a password (since I didn't have one) and made sure the Find My iPad was off. That is called a bypass.
Needless to explain much, I am more looking for a solution to turn off Find My iPad on another iPad and I have not been successful.
I looked up many clips on YouTube. I wonder that Apple has updated terms and conditions with a more secured feature on iCloud.

I need to retrieve files from my iPad but I forgot my password. I tried to restore it but then it said I had to turn off Find my iPad on my iPad. I can't do this because I can't get into it. What do I do?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Why can't i open iTunes and App Store in Settings Menu on iPad Mini IOS 7.1.2?

What happens when you try?
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.
