Ipad Q

Enable Erase Data:

If you do decide to stick with the 4-digit passcode it is a good idea to enable the Erase Data option. This will automatically erase all of the data on the iPad if the passcode is incorrectly attempted 10 times in a row.

In the event that your iPad is stolen, this should help to stop the thieves getting their hands on your sensitive data. As a safety precaution, after the first few wrong attempts, it stops you from trying for a minute, then on the next failed attempt, it increases the delay to five minutes, and keeps on increasing it till 30 minutes for the last few attempts, before wiping the data of the device

Even if data is accidentally wiped (by a mischievous child perhaps) you can still recover the data as long a you have a backup in iTunes.
