Locked out of ipad, recovery didn't work

My ipad hasn't been used in a couple of weeks, I had disconnected the wifi and bluetooth to save battery life. Attempted to sign in and it says that my passcode is wrong. I got locked out to the 15 minute point and put it into recovery mode. I went through the restore/reset on itunes, and once completed, it again asked for a passcode. I'm now locked out even further. I know the passcode is correct, no one else has access, and it has never been changed.

You'll need to plug it back into itunes and do the recovery mode again, doing the restore and not upgrade, ipad needs to be totally wiped to factory settings.
