My iPad is stuck on the "ICloud Backup" error message

My iPad is stuck on an error message. The message says "iCloud Backup. This iPad has not been backed up in XX days......." When I press the OK on the message nothing happens. I can't reboot it because the error message has disabled the "slide to power off" button. When I plug it in to sync to my PC, iTunes asks to enter the iPad's code which I can't because the error message has disabled the touch pad.

How can I get the message cleared and back up the iPad?

Reboot your device by holding the power & home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears. Hopefully this will solve your issue.

That did the trick! I was unaware that holding the power & home buttons would turn off the iPad.
You are AWESOME! Many Thanks!
