Hi abitmoreclassA,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


It seems like you followed the steps in the article above to remove the forgotten passcode from your iPad, but iTunes may be asking you to enter the passcode as well.


In this case, try restoring using another computer, or place your iPad in recovery mode and try restoring again:


Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support


If iTunes asks you to enter your passcode or asks you to allow access, try another computer that you've synced with. Or use recovery mode. (Click the link to be taken to the steps.)


Best Regards,


Jeremy
