How to restore photos from a reset iPad?

A friend’s daughter locked the password on a 5 yr old iPad. A local repair shop “reset” the device. She lost 5 years of her children’s photos without a backup (iCloud or pc).


is there any way to recover? Help please...

Sorry no.

No backup = No recovery... unless she had iCloud Photos enabled (should be this case, her photos should be still synced in her iCloud storage).
