Mini Ipad

[dicmor]

I have a Mini I Pad which I have been using for a long time without having the need to enter a password. I now cannot get on without the password but I just cannot remember what it is. I have tried many and the latest message I have is that the IPad cannot be switched on for an hour. How can I overcome this problem PLEASE

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.

DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.


ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
