iPad reset without passcode

Read the Apple Support document about what to do if you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled. Click here --> http://support.apple.com/HT204306

At the very end of the document it mentions briefly about possibly needing Apple ID account information to do this, but I have never seen anybody report encountering this. In order to keep this reply clear and brief I won't post about strings of eventualities you are very unlikely to encounter until you actually do so.

You will have to erase the device and set it up again. If you have never backed it up, some information may return if you have used iCloud to sync services such as Contacts. Otherwise anything you have changed is gone.

Each device can have its own passcode.

If it is saying disabled and connect to iTunes then somebody apparently set a passcode on it. They shouldn't have if it was new.

This link used to be titled "If you see a connect to iTunes..."

I have never had to do that but I have seen many posts here saying just go to any computer that is a Mac or has iTunes on it. The syncing part probably refers to restoring content afterward. The resetting process basically erases all content so you need to restore from a backup if you want the settings and data content back, and you need to sync with iTunes/Music if you had media content.
