big problem

i have a completely different problem. my ipad started freezing, so i connected it to my computer. it put it into restore mode, but i didn;t see it in time, because my computer was being slow. i restarted it... now it restarts autimatically about every five minutes, all it shows is the restore/ loading ring, and when I connect it to my computer it makes me configure it as a new ipad, i had a password so i can;t restore the old configuration. i've tried restoring it with itunes, and blackraIn, but nothing helps, mainly because the ipad has either restarted or turned itself off. i can't return it to apple, because there is no warranty, i really need a way to restore it without connecting it to the computer. any other udeas would be great too.

I have a first generation ipad, and it has not been jailbroken.

I would suggest following the guide here - http://www.ipadforums.net/jailbreak...lsafe-method-restore-current-version-ios.html

You can probably skip Step2, since if you have never had an iPad before it won't be relevant, but make sure all the others are followed. You should end up with 5.1.1 freshly installed on the iPad.

Good Luck!
