The same happened here, but I really want to know the cause and not only how I can "solve" this. Resetting is not much help if you don't have backups......

I would go to settings but I could not log in to my ipad at all 😮. The start screen, where you enter your passcode, changed the number of digits required to 6 from my original 4. I am completely unable to get into my ipad. No one was home except me so it is not possible that someone tampered with my device. I appreciate your last comment 🙂.
