It's whatever you set it to.
It s not stored anywhere so there is nothing to recover.
If you can't remember it, you will have to wipe your iPad.

There is no way to find it. If you forgot it, you will have to reset the iPad to factory condition.

If you have a backup that was made after the code was put in place then you won't be able to use it as restoring from that backup will put the code back.

Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

To remove a forgotten Restrictions passcode you will need to either...

1) Restore the Device as New... See Section 6 here...

OR...

2) From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

Restore from Backup > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
