Generation 1 Ipad

Can someone please tell me what to do to get my programs back? I screwed up the 4 digit pass code and I can get NO programs at all on my Ipad. I have tried holding the on and off switch while pressing the home button multiple times but nothing. When I turn the I pad on all I get is the word IPAD and then I slide the switch and the next screen I get is Welcome in all languages. Thats as far as it goes.

Is there a way to reload all the programs ? If so, how ?

I'm afraid I am not very tech savy and being an old fart doesn't help.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.

It appears you've already asked about this in this thread here: http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-help/75764-ipad-generation-1-a.html

As that one already has responses, I'm going to close this one because we ask that members only have one thread per issue. Not only does it make it easier to follow the conversation, it's in our rules.

So, please, keep any follow-ups or updates in the thread I linked. Thanks for your understanding.
