IPHONE ACTIVATION LOCK IOS 7 PASSWORD
When you erase your lost phone through Apple’s Find My iPhone tool, iOS 7 will not only erase your data from the phone, but it will also require a thief-or whoever happens to find your lost phone-to enter your Apple ID and password in order to use the phone in any capacity.

If you ever lose your phone or tablet, iOS 7’s Activation Lock feature could potentially save you some angst by locking out would-be thieves.
