Follow the instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

If you are prompted to enter the passcode then you will need to reset it back to factory defaults - you have a recent backup to which you can then restore to ?

Thank you so much. Smooth sailing UNTIL it said "Find My iPad must be turned off before it can be restored". It tells me to go to settings on my iPad and turn it off, but obviously I can't. Any more suggestions?

You should also be able to remove the iPad from Find My iPhone by logging into your account via http://icloud.com
