Hello,


Unfortunately you must now fully restore your iPad to factory settings. There is no way around it.


This is a good example as to why it is important to always maintain a current backup.


Please refer to the following Apple Support documents.


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

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Suppor
