How to protect the information on iPad

Security features help protect the information on iPad from being accessed by others. For example: You can set up a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or wake up iPad.

The Find My iPad feature helps you locate iPad if you lose or misplace it, and lets you display a message on your iPad to help someone return it to you. It includes Remote Wipe, which lets you erase all your information.

The Remote Passcode Lock feature lets you remotely lock your iPad and create a new or replacement 4-digit passcode.

Set a passcode: Choose Settings > General > Passcode Lock. Enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter the passcode again to verify it. iPad then requires you to enter the passcode to unlock it or to display the passcode lock settings.

Note: Find My iPad, including Remote Wipe and Remote Passcode Lock, requires a MobileMe account and is not available in all regions. MobileMe is an online service, available by subscription. For more information, go to www.apple.com/mobileme.

To enable this feature, turn on Find My iPad in your MobileMe account settings.

Find your iPad: On your computer, log in to MobileMe at www.me.com/find. Follow the onscreen instructions to locate your iPad on a map or to display a message on its screen along with an optional sound to help you find it.

Remotely lock your iPad: On your computer, log in to MobileMe at www.me.com/find. Click Remote Lock, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Remotely wipe information on your iPad: On your computer, log in to MobileMe at www.me.com/find. Click “Remote Wipe…,” then follow the onscreen instructions.

A remote wipe is like the “Erase all content and settings” feature in Settings. It resets all settings to their original value and erases all your information and media. More Tutorial for ipad.
