iPad Problem after Reboot

Hi everybody.

Excuse me for my bad English, but i have a problem with my 1 month old iPad 3G 16GB.

Yesterday night, i simply reboot my iPad in case of an game-app (monopoly) which says "Please reboot your ipad to save your gameaccount, because the iPad RAM is overloaded".

But after the Reboot, the iPad show me the symbol for connecting to iTunes.
Okay, no problem.
I started my pc an connected the iPad to the PC and iTunes says to me: "Please type in your 4 digit password to unlock the iPad" but there is no possibility to type in my 4 digit password.

After that i reed some helping threads on the Internet. I tried the "Recovery Mode" to restore my iPad but now the Error 23 appear.

After that error i go to my iPad seller (Media Markt in Germany) and they say to me, that he will sent it to Apple.

I think this problem can solved without waiting 2 weeks for a repair service.

Many thanks for your replies.

HI and welcome.....

If you can, tap Settings / General then tap Passcode Lock. Type in your 4 digit password.

If that doesn't help, try restarting your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.

Restart your PC, connect the iPad. Launch iTunes. If you can get that far select the Summary tab and try Restoring your iPad.
