What do I do if I forgot my iPad password and I have find my iPad with my iPhone?

Last night, while I was very tired, I was going to change my password on my iPad. I did, and then fell asleep and now I can't remember he password. I have my iPad connected to my Find My iPhone/iPad and I was going to try to see of I could set a NEW password to my iPad from Find my iPhone on my iPhone. But, it wouldn't allow me to, and it said it would just set the password as the already existing password on my iPad. Any help?

The new iPad-OTHER, iOS 5.1.1

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).


If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.


You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

this is the same as what happened to me! icloud didn't work on my ipad i don't know why,

and why didn't apple made a log in using apple ID password if you forgot your passcode (just like android: if you forgot your password, you can log in using your google email and password). This is much easier and better than erasing all your data! and i don't know why nothing is on my icloud. I have about 1.5 GB of pictures that i really don't won't to lose 😟 ( Honestly i don't like apple any more )
