Accidentally Locking Myself out of my iPad 2

[Turon]

Someone got hold of my iPad 2 and put the wrong password so many times that my iPad was disabled.
Is it possible to restore the iPad? Or at least restore its data?

This is pretty well documented for those with access to a search engine:

Best success.

I know I can just put in in recovery mode, wipe everything and start afresh, but I would specifically like to get the data back. Reinstalling iOS will destroy the data. Is there a way of getting the data back?

The Apple article here states: Unless you made a backup before you forgot your passcode, there isn't a way to save the data on your device.

Did you have a backup done?

Yes. But an outdated one. I figured Apple wouldn't allow for data recovery in these circumstances. I'm inquiring about perhaps a less "official" means of recovery, something akin to jailbreaking perhaps?
