If you google:
downgrade ipad to ios 5
you will find all sorts of answers and comments on this. The long and short of it is that how to do it depends on which iPad you have and may not necessarily be easy.

Hi niel4933,
I might save you the googling and help you out. :-)
Do you know what SHSH blobs are?
Do you know what Tiny Umbrella is and did you run it while you had iOS5.? on your device?
If you cannot answer YES to both then my answer to your question is you cannot downgrade and on that iPAD you can never ever downgrade without Apples help. That help they will not give you. In fact it is Apples intention that you cannot downgrade so as far as they are concerned everything is working as intended.
What are SHSH blobs?
Don't be tricked by stuff like this. This still needs SHSH blobs it is just they are getting them remotely and they are not saved on the PC locally.

Darbid73 is right
Downgrading is not that easy, and if you don't know what SHSH is then you probably can't downgrade
Sorry

Assuming you haven't got a jailbroken device and are still in warranty, go to the apple store and tell them you upgraded by mistake and don't like the new IOS, apple are surprisingly accommodating. They wont be able to downgrade it as the firmware specifically prevents it, but they may trade it for a stock item.
or simply pay for a battery replacement instore (about £60), they trade the unit for a stock this way too.
I'd imagine because you've asked this question here, you have no idea regarding SHSH blobs.
