I can't restore my ipad as new

I've forgotten my restrictions passcode on my ipad and as a result I can't access my icloud or accounts settings to switch restrictions off. Equally I can't turn off 'find my ipad' therefore I can't restore as new in itunes! Somebody please help, I've been through all manner of potential solutions but I think I'm totally stuck now.
Thank you in advance....

Did you try erasing the iPad using Find My iPhone in iCloud.com on a computer? You do not have to turn off find my iPhone in order to this, at least according to the instructions here.

You cannot get around Activation Lock without the oringinal owner disassociating the iPad from their account.
See the Activation Lock FAQ for what you and they need to know.

How can I keep my restrictions on my ipad will still restoring it. I ask this because you can easily restore the ipad which disables restrictions. Is there a way to always have restrictions on even in restoring it?

How can I keep restrictions on my ipad. I know that if you restore the ipad as new then the password and restrictions gets disabled. Is there a way to constantly keep restrictions on the ipad even with someone restores it as new or restores it in general

If it's restored to a backup, and the restrictions were in place when the backup was made, then they will be kept (they will effectively be copied back on from the backup). Restoring to factory defaults/as new will remove them and all other settings and content from the iPad, and you can't change that behaviour - one reason is that if you forget the restrictions code (and there are fairly regular postings on here from people who have) then the factory default reset then allows you to remove it.

I Have seen people report this issue when they try to sync their devices but in never seen it when trying to restore an unresponsive iPad. I would sguggest trying recovery mode now.

This procedure will totally erase the iPad so I hope that you have a backup that you can restore from....assuming that it works, that is.

how can i restore my iPad?

Nevermind, I solved it with iPad backup restore. Backed up every app individually to an ipa with app+records. Then reset to factory, restored old iTunes backup and did the same again for the other apps. Now I have all apps on the computer with its corresponding data and don't rely on partially implemented backup solutions.

Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

I can't restore my Ipad mini.....it begins the process and then stops midway through and shows NAND messages along the top left of the screen. Then all I get is either a blank screen or Apple logo......unable to turn it on or off.

Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

But a common theme for ones in that range is caused by windows security software.
Try disabling your antivirus and firewall software.
