Verify that your ios device is free of the activation lock.
How to check if the activation lock is active on a device
Here is some further info.
-- Learn what to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen.
-- Learn about Find My iPhone Activation Lock.
-- If you registered your device with Apple, you can unregister it at My Support Profile.
If for some reason you try to login too many times to the ipad, it will freeze up. & as you know, low you will be to recover.
You do want to be the first to set the Activation lock. This way you can at least restore you iPad should it get locked out.
Activation lock
Find My iPad
"With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7."

Here is what to do to wipe an iPad:
These changes will ONLY affect the old iPad mini, and I would suggest that you backup your old iPad if you have not already by going to Settings -> [your Apple ID name] -> iCloud -> iCloud Backup. This will backup all of your things from the old iPad to the cloud that you can use to set up the new iPad if you have not already done so.
If you have any questions or something does not seem to work, reply to this comment and I will do my best to help. Good luck!
