Sorry, but if you have forgotten your password, there is no way to recover it. The only thing you can do is restore your iPad to the most current iOS (which is iOS 6.1 as of this writing).

And, unfortunately, if your most recent backup was made when the passcode was running, you won't be able to use that backup to put on your iPad (as the password will still be there). You will have to restore as new; so your iPad will be just as when you got it from the store.

Sorry, but Apple made a VERY strong password.

P.S. And you got errors when you tried to restore because you tried to use iOS 5.1.1. That iOS is no longer authorized by Apple - you must install iOS 6.1.

To add on to Marilyn, after restore you can try using something like iPhone Backup Extractor to piece out your data and put them back on your device.
