Erase and restore without wi-fi I have locked myself out of my ipad. I have tried to erase it on icloud so that I can restore and start using it again but have hit an issue. When I go to icloud and erase I get a message that stays pending awaiting internet connection. I have tried pressing the home and on/off button on the ipad but it tells me there is connection to wi-fi. How can I connect the ipad to the internet when I'm locked out so that I can complete erase and restore?
