Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

I have followed the recover iPad instructions through deleting from iTunes, connecting via store while holding the home button and selected recovery mode, but during the process, pop up informs me that the passcode is required. How do I recover the iPad?
If all else fails, then head on over here ...

I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.
The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

Every time I open my email on my iPad, I'm asked to enter the password for my old address. I have deleted that account, but I'm still asked for the password. What to do?
You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

I have the iPhone 5 and with the new sofware update it added a passcode lock. Same for the iPad. I removed the passcode lock from my iPhone and now I can access my iPad. It is still asking for the four digit passcode. I tried using the one that was orgingally programed and it disables it every time. How can I get past this? I have tried to do a restore and it still takes me back to the lock screen. Please help!
Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

I have two apple id's and one I cannot remember the password so I made a new one but to update my apps it still asks for the old password... How do I update my apps?
All content and data is forever associated with the Apple ID you used to download it. You should have reset the password for the original I'd.

I am using a friend's iPod, whose account i signed out of, and signed in through my own. But whenever I'm trying to download an update or an app, it's still asking for the other account's password. Please help!!
That Apple ID is stored inside those applications. Leave them as is and ask your friend to do the updating.

Place your device into recovery mode and then restore.

Also set your iPod up as a new device, rather that restoring from a previous backup.
Note: All user content on the device will be erased. -
