I suppose you reset the password using a browser, and as you removed and reinstalled the app, it should be up to date.

First of all, try resetting your iPad, maybe this will fix it: press and hold Home and Power button until the Apple logo appears, release both and let the iPad power up.
Restarting might also help - turn it off, then on again.

Delete History, cookies and data in Settings - Safari.

If the issue persists, report it to Facebook.

Did you also delete the account in Settings - Facebook and reinstall it?

You could try to reset all settings in Settings - General - Reset. Make sure you don't erase all content and settings - this will remove everything from your device and you'll get back to the activation screen. Resetting all settings will set your settings, everything you changed in the app, back to default. You'll have to go through Settings and select your preferences again.

Hope that helps.
