Black screen saying "iPad is disabled"

Forgot my passcode, clicked the update option after holding the home button when it's off and plugging it in. Went through the whole process but then I'm left with a black screen saying ipad is disabled. I tried turning it on and off, and even holding both the lock button and the home button. I'm still seeing the same thing. What to do? Is it going to let me in after an hour?
