Use Guided Access to:

  • Temporarily restrict your iOS device to a particular app
  • Disable areas of the screen that aren’t relevant to a task, or areas where an accidental gesture might cause a distraction
  • Disable the hardware buttons


Try a 'reboot' (Hold the Sleep/Wake & Home button down simultaneously for about 10 seconds)

I used the term 'reboot' instead of 'reset', because most novice users understand that more clearly.


And there is a passcode associated with Guided Access.


Tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access to set up Guided Access. From there you can:

  • Turn Guided Access on or off
  • Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving an active session
  • Set whether the device can go to sleep during a session

I was thinking the same thing, since the only problem with the OP's was a few minor spelling errors, and then modular747 asked him to define 'guided access'.


Why do you need a definition for Guided Access if you know what Guided Access is? Add in the fact that modular747 incorrectly stated that 'there is absolutely no connection between a passcode and this feature', (especially after I provided a link to the article about Guided Access, and the OP's title included the same article number), and this leads me to believe that modular747 didn't know about this feature,a nd thought the OP was referring to something else... and then later tried to cover up.


But that's okay. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one's perfect. Let's just move on and learn from this. Hoepfully the OP was able to resolve the issue and will let us know.
