It can be reset from a computer without the passcode, but it requires access to the Apple ID used on it. The Apple ID password can be reset to access it. If it's never been associated with an Apple ID (unusual but I've reset my mom's iPad after she forgot her passcode after setting it up) it doesn't require Apple ID to reset.
