Ipad won't accept Apple ID and password after restore and update

iPad got locked and it wouldn't accept passcode. So, we followed the restore instructions to erase the iPad and start fresh. Now it won't accept the Apple Id and password, even though the iTunes store does accept that same apple Id and password.


Why? We thought the restore would be a complete restore and no remnants of the previous software, IDs, etc., would be ... well, restored.


Is there away to do that. Erase everything except what came on it when it was take out of the box?

iPad, iOS 8
