Security Features
Security features help protect the information on iPad from being accessed by others. 
Passcodes and Data Protection
For security, you can set up a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or 
wake up iPad.
Set a passcode:  Choose Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn Passcode On. 
Enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter it again to verify it. iPad will require you to enter 
the passcode to unlock it, or to display the passcode lock settings.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, which uses the passcode as the key for 
encrypting mail messages and attachments stored on iPad. (Data protection may 
also be used by some apps available in the App Store.) A notice at the bottom of the 
Passcode Lock screen in Settings shows that data protection is enabled.
