I keep having error -3259 even though I took down my firewall.

I forgot my passcode to my iPad (sadly). So I have to restore it however I have been stuck in the restore mode for about 2 days now. I took down my firewall and norton security. I just tried to "restore" again the SAME EXACT ERROR came up again. So now im frustrated and tired. What do I do next. I am currently downloading King Peungin solution to see if it works.

Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

If that doesn't work then you could try downloading the update via a browser and then in iTunes pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file :

ipad1

iPad 2 wifi-only

iPad 2 GSM/sim

iPad 2 CDMA

I am tired and I would really appreciate if someone could help me out. Thank You.
