It isn’t possible to “bypass” the device Passcode. If the device is disabled, or the Passcode has been forgotten, you have no alternative other than to follow this procedure:
If you’ve forgotten the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled – Apple Support
The process will erase all locally stored data, however, you’ll be able to restore your iCloud or iTunes backup to the iPad at conclusion of the process. 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).
You’ll also need your AppleID and associated password. If these 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.

If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support

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:
