why do I need a password and user name for my Ipad?

Is this sequence the same as my Apple sequence? when would I use either one?

You need a username and passcode to prevent unauthorized use of your device. As for the sequence, you need to be a bit more specific. If you're referring to the lock screen, then yes, the swipe to unlock sequence is the same.
