Hi Betty,

Do only way to have your iPad working again is to restore it. Do you have iTunes installed in your computer?

Hi Betty,

Please follow the procedure below to restore your iPad.

1.Make sure your tablet is disconnected from the dock or USB data cable that equips the gadget . Nevertheless USB cable must be plugged into your PC or MAC.
2.Make sure your PC or MAC is awake and its screen saver is turned off.
3.Simultaneously press and hold down the Wake/Sleep button and the Home button and wait until "slide to power off" screen appears. Don't do anything after its appearing, just keep holding Wake/Sleep and Home buttons until Apple tablet will power off.
4.Release the Wake/Sleep button once Apple tablet is off , but continue to hold the Home button
5.Holding the home button, connect the USB data cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, tablet should power on and you should see a message on your PC/MAC display saying that iTunes has detected an iPad in Recovery Mode
6.After you detected this message, release the home button and press OK on iTunes pop-up to confirm the restore option.
7.Do not touch iconic tablet and you computer while iTunes downloads and installs the fresh copy of firmware on your iPad. You will be notified by iTunes when iPad is successfully restored, but… in a while, you will get an message saying that the iPad isn't recognized. Don't panic. This is because all user content on iPad including activation status was erased during restoration.
8.Disconnect iPad from iTunes ,unplug from computer and turn off.
9.Turn iPad on. You should be able to access the iPad now without the password.

Let me know if this helps.
