iMore Question

My son put a password on my ipad that he forgot. Now we can't get into it. It tells me to connect to itunes to get the issue fixed. However, I never synced my ipad to my itunes account. Now when I go to restore it is trying to update and restore but it won't complete the update in order to do the restore. What can I do??
