Yes, if you restore, it will go to 4.3.5. I don't understand your iOS5 comment (cause it's not released yet) - unless you mean to wait/hope that 5 can be jail broken [quickly]? In that case, who knows - we can but wait.
Is there ANY way your child can remember that password? Hypnotism, maybe.
Again ... sorry.

We have tried a few combinations he thought they would be but to no avail.... I did not want to try too many attempts for fear of being locked out for 10 years!!!!
I did mean wait for IOS 5 in anticipation that it will be jailbroken, Hypnotism may be the way forward if 5 doesn't get broken!!! I may have to try locating a good hypnotist...
Totally distraught :-(
Thanks again

If you download iFunBox (use google to find it) and access the files on the iPad without SSH, you can backup everything to your PC. If the files are in-accessible due to the lock code being in place, you may be out of luck. But it is worth a shot.
When I had to restore my iPad due to the Springtomize tweak removing the slide lock, I downloaded that standalone software to backup all of my Application files.
After you transfer all these files onto a folder on your desktop, snoop around and see if you can't find the mobile lock text document. It may just be a reference to an ACSII based file. I'll look through my iPad on iFile to see if I can find the location of the code myself, and find out how the document was encrypted or compiled.
If you want to continue with the backup method, just do so. If you want to restore, just jailbreak to Tethered 4.3.5 afterwards, or untethered 4.3.3. After jail breaking again, you can then open iFunBox and place the backed up files on your iPad.
I had some trouble at this point, but found out if you download a free app, it will allow you to drop these files under APPLICATIONS under SAID DOWNLOADED APP. As opposed to not being able to do so before.
After the backed up files are under some random app you don't even know why you have, download iFile from Cydia. I'm sure you know that there is a lite version under the paid version source.
After you download iFile, open it and click on Applications (in landscape mode) on the left hand side. Look for your one and only downloaded App folder. Open it and see a bunch of random letters and numbers. For example, you will see something like this:
AC3JKL-AHIJO1-HSO67J-KMNWQZ
Yes, I just mashed the keyboard,
Click on edit in the top right hand corner, and select all the funky named folders, now click the clipboard icon in the bottom right corner and select cut. Now go back one in the directory. You should now be back in applications.
Once your in applications again, select the same clipboard icon and hit paste. All your data from your downloaded apps are there.
But wait, when you go home, your icons aren't on springboard? Just simply restart your device. If your tethered, boot tethered from DFU mode using redsn0w.
BUT WAIT AGAIN. You now have all blank white icons on your screen. This is another simple fix. Just download your apps again. Doing this just replaces the app, and not the data associated with it. AND Your done.
If this doesn't help, I'm terribly sorry. Maybe this will help others. I will try and look for that lock code source for you.
I also hope you like to read.
You could also restore from another iPad...? But tell me how this goes first.
