If your iPad is disabled, or you have forgotten your iPad passcode, you’ll need to follow this process:
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211078
You’ll need access to either a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS). If you are having difficulties with your iPad being recognised by your computer, these support pages may be helpful with troubleshooting and resolving the problem:
If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
If you see an error in Finder or iTunes on your computer – Apple Support
If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
You’ll need your AppleID and associated password to complete the process. If these credentials have also been forgotten, they can be recovered here:

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.
