    There are two different locking mechanisms:  passcode, prevents access to your data,  and activation lock, prevents use of device if stolen.  You do not want the students setting the activation lock.

    If the passcode is set & forgotten , you can reload from backup or wipe ( first typed whip ) the device.


    iPhone or iPad locked from incorrect passcode.
    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says Ipad is disabled.

    See how to restore from backup.  No back up on your computer, click on the triangle before "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer"

    The problem arises when someone sets the activation lock which is set by logging onto your apple id then setting the appropriate option.   DEP is the preferred preventative.  It established your organization as the owner.  The student cannot set an activation log.
