Do you know what made that change from the keypad to the box?

How did you get past the number pad? Or are you jail broken? Thanks!

The complex password is a standard feature.
Go to Settings > Passcode; and turn off Simple Passcode. This changes you from the simple, four digit, passcode to a complex multi-character one. Once you are done setting the complex passcode you will get the full keyboard when unlocking the iPad.
Be sure to record the new passcode somewhere safe.
Looks like apple changed this in iOS 7.1.
Confirmed.Yep. I'm pretty sure it was under the General settings before. The pretty semi-transparent keyboards are iOS 7.1, I think.
