If you have forgotten your iPad passcode, or your iPad is disabled, you’ll need to follow this:

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211078


However, should your device indicate that it is Activation Locked, this help page will provide most of the information that you’ll need:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365


Either situation will require knowledge of your AppleID and associated passcode.


If you have forgotten your AppleID or password, these can be recovered here:

https://iforgot.apple.com


To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:

  • Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
  • Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
  • Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID


Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.


More information about recovery of your AppleID:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201354


More information about recovery of your AppleID password:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487


When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:
