Required passcode change

This morning when I woke my iPad, I was required to change my password. This is the second time this has happened and it makes me feel uneasy. The first time I reset my iPad. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? I have seen where people say to delete history on Safari and I have done that And forced a restart of my iPad. I do not have a work email account on my iPad.

iPad 2, iOS 9.3.2

When you said you deleted Safari history and did a forced restart, did you follow these instructions?


Close Safari completely from the multitasking window by double clicking the Home button and swiping up the Safari preview pane until it disappears from the screen. You may have to look for the Safari pane by scrawling to the left as there may be other panes there from other apps. Then go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. Then do a forced restart. Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it comes up.
