The simple answer is that you need to connect your iPad to a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac computer (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS). When your iPad is connected, it should be recognised by your computer - and iTunes will proceed with remote activation of the iPad.

If you see the Restore screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support

If you can't activate your iPhone - Apple Support


The last relates to iPhone, but is equally applicable to iPad.
