Stuck in endless loop after iOS7 upgrade

Question

I backed up to an iMac using iTunes, latest version, ran the upgrade and now am stuck in an endless loop.
Power off, restart.
Hello, slide to setup - done
Select US region - done
Choose Wifi - have to enter network info each time
Set up your iPad - restore from iTunes backup - select restore from backup
Connected to iTunes screen - connect USB
On iMac use iTunes Devices:restore from backup:Bruce's iPad
Select Backup, click Restore button
Brief display of iOS7 on iPad, then restart, progress bar displays and appears to indicate restore
Hello, slide to setup
I cannot get out of this.

Answer 1

once u have restored from back up it will do the set up assistant as u said, when u get to the part where it asks if u want to set up as new, hit that. it will let u in and ur back up will be there. at least thats the way its suppose to work. if it doesnt u can always erase all content and settings to go back to the loop.
