Question

I am looking to setup a one off application on my Developer iPad that prevents the usage of the home button (and preferably the lock button too). I would like to password protect leaving the application essentially. Best way to do that would be what?

see my answer here Lock-down iPhone/iPod/iPad so it can only run one app

The lock button would still be active however so the device would be able to be rebooted. You would need a case that protected the lock button, that is the method Apple use in their stores.

Without rooting your iPad I'm not aware that it's possible.

A way to do it manually:

Make the following selection Settings->General->Accessiblity->Guided access and enable it and set the password
Open the app to be locked
Triple click the home button continuously that's it its the app gets locked
To unlock triple click the home button continuously give the password While it asks that's it app is unlocked

Note:

This solution works from iOS 6 only.
