My Ipad Locked Me Out

I removed the lock screen from my iPad weeks ago. Now, I have a new lock screen with an alpha-numeric keyboard (I have not knowingly upgraded). My old password doesn't work, my iTunes password doesn't work. So, I'm locked out. Any thoughts?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 7.0.6
