[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1871355, member: 396914"] It didn't change to 6 on its own, you did, or you authorized it to do so. As I said, the Fingerprint requires six digit code to be set up at the time it is set up, so when you programmed your finger into the iPad, you set up 6 digit login. And whatever you set is what it wants now. I don't think anywhere but a real Apple shop can unlock it for you. Apple has put all kinds of restrictions on unlocking iDevices as a protection against theft--an iDevice is much less attractive if the thief cannot actually use it and if would-be buyers know they can't unlock it either. What Ian suggest is very valuable. Hold the iPad in the same orientation you used when you programmed it with your fingerprint and try varying pressures on the button. I find it easy, but my wife hated it so much we turned it off for her. IN any event, if the fingerprint fails, you should get the keypad to enter the code. But you need the code to get in, if you can't get the fingerprint to work. [/QUOTE]
