Q: Changing passcode on iPads
My iPad air was stolen, but i have another iPad. I want to lock the stolen iPad, but I can never catch it on the internet. If I change the passcode on the iPad I have, does the passcode on the stolen iPad automatically change, too, or do I manually have to change the iPad on the stolen iPad Air, even if all the personal info on both iPads is exactly the same? I don't know if the person who stole the Air turned off location services, but that service was on, yet I haven't been able to find the Air being used at all. Apple reps told me they can't remotely turn on location services. The person who stole the Air has to be getting online, but if he isn't getting online with wifi, I don't know how he is doing it. Any ideas from anyone? I'm not sure which operating system is on the Air, but I do all the updates.
iPad Air, iOS 8.4.1

No!
Each device has an independent passcode.
