You will need to restore the iPad either using a backup created before you set the Restrictions passcode or to factory settings.

The only way is to restore to factory condition, Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings you can then restore from a backup that predates when you added the restriction code if you have one.
If there is no such backup there is nothing to do but start redownloading your apps and content.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

I Simply removed my Google Chrome browser then download it again. Worked okay. Have Google account so bookmarks followed.
