Locked iPad2

The erase procedure to reset the lock code requires Find My iPhone turned off and internet access. The iPad is locked, so I can't seem to utilise the erase function. I seems a little Catch 22. Can anyone assist ? Thanks

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 8.2

It doesn't not require FMIP to be off. Follow these instructions:

Disconnect all cables from your device.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then "slide to power off" to turn off your device.
Press and hold the Home button and plug the device into your computer. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on. Don't release the Home button.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
If iTunes doesn't open automatically, open it. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
Click OK. Then restore the device.

If your device doesn't go into recovery mode, try steps 1–4 again.
