You (or someone else) could have changed that passcode. Nobody here knows that passcode, since it is stored inside your device.
To re-gain access to that device, you need to remove the passcode using these instructions:--> If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled
Pay attention to the specific gestures you need to perform while connecting it to a computer and keep in mind that if you don't have a recent backup, all your data will be lost.
