Q: iCloud backup has not been backed up in 6 weeks icon appears and will not go away so I can turn on a new wifi connection.

My iPad was off for over 6 weeks. It is now fully charged, but when I turn it on the icon with the words"This iPad hasn't been backed up in 6 weeks..." appears. When I hit "OK" it does not go away and I can't do anything further. I want to put in my new wifi information. Please help. Thanks.
