Hi Chris, This is how you put an iPhone in DFU mode, which is what I think you're asking for. I assume the process is the same on an iPad.
Connect the iPad to your computer. Hold down the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds. Then release the Power button, but keep holding down the Home button until iTunes says there's an iPad in recovery mode, and you should be able to restore from there. I hope it works.
