Hi JoeBlood,
Do you know did your father set up the 2 factor authentication or created security questions when he first created his Apple ID?
Using the 2 factor authentication or answer security questions can regain access to your father’s iPad.
U mentioned your father used his iPhone to link his Apple ID, most probably he set up the 2 factor authentication using phone number, pls refer to this link: https://support.apple.com/en-sg/HT204106
Hope this helps.
received my new ipad mini and am locked out as I do not know which passcode I need to enter. The passcode I setup doesnot work and did not remember the original apple id verification code. Was in the process of transferring the data from my old ipad mini to the new ipad mini
