Q: How to restore/wipe an iPad with forgotten passcode.

My son forgot his passcode on an old iPad Mini.  I used the instructions to restore the iPad back to factory defaults using DFU mode, but when the iPad boots it still wants a passcode (instead of being a "fresh" iPad).  I would normally go to iCloud and just wipe the device, but the iPad is not on WiFi (I have no idea why).  Any help is appreciated, even if just to force the iPad to get back onto wifi...

 

Thanks in advance.

iPad Mini, iOS 9.3.2
