Turn Simple Passcode on or off: Choose General > Passcode Lock, then turn Simple

A simple passcode is a four-digit number. To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode
and use a longer passcode that has a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation,
and special characters.
Turn Picture Frame on or off: Choose General > Passcode Lock and turn Picture Frame
on or off.
When Picture Frame is on, iPad displays your photos from the locked screen. See

enter your passcode, and tap Erase Data to turn it on.
After ten failed passcode attempts, your settings are reset to their original values, all
your information and media are erased, and data protection is enabled by removing
the encryption key to the data, which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption.
