    Do a restore. Plug it into iTunes, backup, and restore. This wipes the iPad completely and then will reupload everything from your backup. MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP (to iTunes or iCloud.) This should help. Good luck!

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    My iPad just started doing this.  Bounces through apps, types messages; it literally acts as if someone else is controlling it.  It just now forced me to type in a new passcode.  Regarless of what I wanted to do it would take me back to settings- passcode.  I've done a re-start and software update and still happens.  I have not reset yet.   But I agree with all the other posts, it may not be hacked, but all these user are not crazy.  Something is going on.  I have to connect to WiFi and it has happened at various locations with different SSID's.
