iCloud Photos problem. Help please!!

So I forgot my iPad mini 2 password. After doing all that I could, I finally decided I had to reset it completely. I had never done a backup, and I couldn't now since it was disabled. I went onto icloud.com to see if my photos would be there, but they weren't. So I reset the iPad only to find that my photos were all gone. I tried going to my cloud but they weren't there. Is there any way I can gain access to them again, even if they've been deleted?


iPad mini, iOS 12

No. As you didn't backed them up to icloud nor did you sync them to icloud, as evident, when you went to icloud.com and there was no photos there.
