My iPad is frozen. It does not respond to commands (swipe to unlock). What can I do to reset or get it going?

Try holding down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider (if you do) and until you see the silver apple. If it takes longer than 30 seconds, this wont' work, but give it at least that long. Let it reboot and see if that clears things up.

Try a Reset...

Reset ( No Data will be Lost )

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
