Store demo reset

I just purchased a store demo iPad and need to do a factory reset. Is this possible without another apple device?

You will need to return the iPad to the retailer from which it was purchased. If not legitimately purchased directly from an Apple Store, the device may have stolen.


Apple does not [at least intentionally] sell store-demo devices. If you have a demo device in your possession, it is useless to you; you will not be able to reset or restore production firmware.
