iPad 4 password

My Ipad had a new battery fitted and a new charging point installed. My local repairer has requested my password to test the iPad. Is this necessary.

If the device is locked with a passcode, maybe, so they can be sure the touch screen got assembled properly and works correctly. The Apple ID password, absolutely not.

I personally would not do this, instead I would go to the shop to unlock it for them, possibly erase the device on the spot, then let them play with it.

Thank you for the reply. I think it is the screen lock they were after. The reason I asked was a few days later we were scammed for 200£ and I was suspicious ,but it was resolved by the bank and nothing to do with the repair shop.
