How to Unlock your iPad

Step 1

Make sure that your tablet is powered on. If your tablet is off, please make sure to power it on.

Once you are sure your tablet is on, turn on your screen by pressing the “wake/sleep” button.

To unlock your tablet, use one finger to swipe up from the bottom of your screen to the top of your screen. *If your iPad has a home button press it instead of swiping up*

If you power your tablet off completely, your family and friends will NOT be able to reach you.
