Some guy named King_Pequin is sending me 15-20 emails a day

No, I am not sending you any emails (for a start I have no idea what your email address is), if you are getting emails it's because you've said that you want them, it has nothing to do with me. Go to your account's profile and turn off emails e.g. click on your name top left (if logged in) and click Preferences on the popup (you might need to toggle emails on and off) - or this should take you straight there : https://discussions.apple.com/user-preferences!input.jspa

If it's disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support


I assume that your boss has been taking regular backups, in which case he/she shouldn't lose too much content when it's restored to their last one
