If you have a MacBook or can borrow one, you should be able to put the iPad into recovery mode.

I believe that you could also install iTunes on a Windows based PC and that would work too.

I have done it before when I have forgotten my iPad's password. It is very easy.

See this article for instructions. (it depends on what model iPad you have)

If you can't update or restore your iPad - Apple Support

This will ERASE ALL DATA on your iPad though.

If you need the data on your iPad then you should talk to apple directly at www.getsupport.apple.com.

Hope this helps!
