Ipad2 restore failed due to cable disconnect

Hello, I have an ipad2. I was trying to restore the ipad due to lost password. During the restore, the cable got disconnected.

Now I have an unusable ipad. It stays on itunes/recovery screen.

When I connect it to the laptop, it tries to do restore/update then it comes back 'The ipad could not be updated. The device cannot be found'.

My computer's USB does not recognize this ipad due to corrupted firmware as a result of failed restore.

What can be done?

iPad 2, iOS 8

Have you tried turning it off and on? Both computer and iPad? Then try again..

Yes, I had rebooted my computer but can't turn off ipad.

When I press and hold the power button, the slide bar does not come up to turn it off. If I hold the power and home button it simply turns the screen black.

Hold both buttons and turn screen black again... What happens when you touch power button? does it turn back on to the itunes/recovery screen? Or try holding power button until you see the slide to power off appear... then hold both buttons for hard restart... If nothing else call Apple.. they will still help if you schedule a phone call online.. They will call you... no $$$$ needed...

Or try turning the screen black or off.. then plug it in and see if the computer wakes it up... if not turn it on while still plugged in to the computer...
