How do I restore a disabled ipad with a Windows PC? I have attempted to follow several tutorials but the device when plugged in is not visible to my computer.

If your device is disabled or you forgot your passcode, you will need to erase your device


Follow the steps in this article:

If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled - Apple Support


And possibly this:

If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support


If you have a backup you can restore it from that

Good luck!
