Can I delete the Cydia and Smartpad icon?

No, you cannot delete the Cydia icon off of the springboard. Instead of deleting the Cydia icon, you should just hide it. You can hide the Cydia icon and Smartpad icon directly from the Mobile Spy interface. Here’s the page on Retina-X Studios, LLC’s website that explains the process:

The section about hiding the icons is #5 under Accessing & configuring the interface (towards the very bottom of the page).

How do I reset the Mobile Spy password for iPad?

To reset the password on iPad, you would first reset your password to a new password inside your online control panel. Then, you would bring up the interface on the iPad itself and log in with the user name and new password. Mobile Spy will save that new information so the logs go to the correct account.

If I upgrade the firmware on the iPad, will it remove Mobile Spy?

Yes, whenever you upgrade the firmware on the iPad, it will remove all programs and utilities associated with jailbroken software. This will include Mobile Spy and Cydia.

You should not upgrade firmware until you have time to re-jailbreak your device and make sure that firmware version can be jailbroken. Apple, lately, has been working on creating firmware versions that cannot be jailbroken. Make sure if you plan to upgrade that a reliable jailbreaking method for that firmware is available.

So if you upgrade the iPad’s firmware and it can be jailbroken, simply re-jailbreak the device and reinstall Smartphone through Cydia.
