How can i get into my ipad when i forgot my password?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Email Password box stays on, forgot password. How can I get into the setup to reset??

On iPad, the Email Password box appears and will not go away.
We have reset password, but it will not sync.
How can I get into Setup, when the Email Password Box will not go away to allow me to get into setup??

Did you try rebooting the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen?
If that doesn't work and If the email password screen is preventing you from unlocking the iPad ... Meaning that you cannot access the iPad at all ... You will have to restore the device in order to get rid of the passcode. This situation is very similar to being locked out of the iPad because of a forgotten device passcode.
