Deon Scanlon commented on Craig Irvine's blog post Students putting passwords on ipods"That should say pass codes, not pass does! I have problems with iPad on screen keyboard not coping with how fast I type, at times!"
Deon Scanlon commented on Craig Irvine's blog post Students putting passwords on ipods"The iPhone Config Utility does not let you control pass does.
The problem, Shane, with setting a passcode is that students need to know what it is, so they can use the device. If they know the passcode, then they can go into settings and change…"
Shane Pilkie commented on Craig Irvine's blog post Students putting passwords on ipods"You can use a free piece of software called iPhone Configuration Utility to control this (and many other settings on iDevices. The software installs a profile on your devices.
Another (more expensive) option is to use some form of commercial Mobile…"
Jenny Ashby replied to Craig Irvine's discussion Students putting passwords on Ipods"Hi Craig,
I have had a student somehow put codes on all the ipods in one class and of course cant remember the codes. It really needs to be over ridden by another code for parents. I wonder if this is possible. Takes a while…"
Robert Richmond commented on Craig Irvine's blog post Students putting passwords on ipods"Hi All,

Jenny Ashby commented on Craig Irvine's blog post Students putting passwords on ipods"Yes it's a pain this code. I have had to restore some ipads and its time consuming. Password login should be in restrictions. Its too easy to change."
Craig Irvine commented on Craig Irvine's blog post Students putting passwords on ipods"This would be the perfect spot for it and would solve my problem. I have used this to control other restrictions."
Jonathan Nalder commented on Craig Irvine's blog post Students putting passwords on ipods"Ahh, sorry I was talking about the restriction settings > general > restrictions ... not the initial login passcode. Its a pity that the putting in of a passcode is not one of the things that restrictions can control!"
Jonathan Nalder commented on Craig Irvine's blog post Students putting passwords on ipods"I think this is the answer Jenny - put one on yourself - I'd have thought all school-owned iOS devices would have some restrictions set - maybe one harder than 1234? :)"

Jenny Ashby commented on Craig Irvine's blog post Students putting passwords on ipods"We have the same problem with the ipads. Wish you could turn it off. Was thinking may e I would put a code on all devices 1234 so it's already on them. What do others do? Probably not an issue on student managed devices but kids can set and…"
