You can now sign back in to the account. This process should correct the problem, but if you are still prompted to sign in to iCloud repeatedly, go through these steps again and delete the information from the iPad rather than keep it.
The information is still stored in the cloud and is restored when your sign back in to iCloud. If you're still repeatedly asked to sign in to iCloud, consult Apple tech support or make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar.
