iPad i0S 17.4.1 cannot change passcode

After installing iOS 17.4.1 on my ipad Pro, the numeric keypad disappears when I try to change my passcode.


Specifically, I am able to enter my existing password in order to access the "Change Passcode" feature, but then cannot enter a new passcode.


Has this happened for anyone else?


iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15

Try a forced restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
