I bought an iPad mini on iOS 7.1 with the password locked and no chance of finding the password. If I put it into recovery could I wipe and start again?

did the device have the find my phone feture enabled then if you wipe via itunes this will kick in
thats fine if you have the itunes account details to unlock
if not and this kicks in then its for parts only

you wont know till you try reflash
more change of brute force the pin code but you need to have some tools

If it's the 'Actvation Lock' tied to an iTunes account - parts only - even Apple can't/won't help. Go to Settings > iCloud and see if u can turn iCloud off - if it asks for the iTunes password you know it's locked. No way out of it
There loads well cheap on eBay - that's why!

Thanks all, as ManofScience said, there is no way to get in and change or reset. So be warned cheap is not necessarily a good thing ever!

ahh bad luck
Happening to were i work more and more at the moment. We have getting close to 500 corporate iPads where i work, people leave and hand them back Activation locked, they want to re-issue them - we can't unless the person who's left releases it from their iCloud account. More often than not, we can't contact them, they don't want to, can't be arsed, etc.
spares for us!
