You should be able to do this by going to:

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

How do I fix IPad 2 freeze up?

Make a new back-up of your ipad, do a factory reset and then restore from the back-up.

The two most common reasons for resetting an iPad to the factory default settings are to prepare the iPad up for a new owner or to overcome a problem with the iPad that simply rebooting the iPad won't solve.

My son changed the ipad password than forgot it and it never has been synced to another computer

Factory reset the iPad, you will lose all of the data on it though. In theory, you should be able to connect it to a computer first and do a backup in iTunes but this will depend on the security settings on the iPad. Regardless, your purchases should be linked to the iTunes account that was being used so after a factory reset you should be able to reload your purchases.
