Yes, I can solve this one for you. Setting an iPad passcode from an iPhone is not possible.


Depending on exactly what this means:

Old iPad is not turning on with its user passcode

Here is how to proceed:


If "user passcode" means some forgotten iPad passcode:

If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support


If "user passcode" actually means some old Apple ID and password that you are being asked to supply:

Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
