I have been away for 2 weeks and a message appears on my iPad which is preventing me open my iPad. "iCloud backup. This iPad has not been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi" Help?

What do I do to get rid of this message as it is preventing me accessing the iPad or closing it down?

Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a backup. The device will be backed up when it's plugged to the charger and connected to your network
