You will need to reset your passcode. You will need a computer to complete this task. You can reset your passcode by following the instructions in this article by Apple ➔ How to reset your passcode on a disabled iPad. All your data on your iPad will be wiped clean in the process.

If you have a backup created then you can restore your iPad from that backup. If you do not have a backup file created then you will lose all your data on the iPad.

If Photos, Messages and Contacts are synced to iCloud then you will be able to retrieve them after setting up iCloud on your iPad after you reset the passcode and sign into iCloud.
