Yes, you can:
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
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).
Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support
Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support
The Factory Restore will wipe the iPad - and install a fresh copy of the most recent version of iOS/iPadOS supported by your iPad.
Unfortunately that doesn't work. Upon update to v14.6 and restore, the iPad loads the activation screen which ultimately still loads the Remote Management dialog.

Great. This was purchased through a work program. I'll go back to them. Thanks.
Is there a way to completely wipe an ipad and reinstall iOS as you can with a Windows device?
