An iPad passcode cannot be recovered, reset or modified from another device. If your iPad is disabled, or you have forgotten your iPad passcode, you have no alternative other than to follow this process:
If you’ve forgotten the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled – 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
Use of a PC or Mac is unavoidable. If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice. Alternatively, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store will be delighted to assist.
You may also need your AppleID and associated password. If these have also been forgotten, they can be recovered here:
To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:
Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.
More information about recovery of your AppleID:
If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support
More information about recovery of your AppleID password:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:

if I can't get my ipad up and running after doing all the steps, and it keeps going back to attempting recovery, is it just dead?
If that previously-linked info fails, contact Apple Support. Could be failed hardware, certainly. Could be some other issue. Apple will gather related info, and discuss your options and alternatives. If it’s a new iPad, it’s usually under a hardware warranty for the first year.
I have bought an Ipad

Scroll up to the top of this webpage and read and follow the Apple-recommended answer shown there.
not meaning to be rude tmoney, but in this fast-paced, constantly attention seeking world we live in where everyone wants their life, views & opinions, social life to be seen/heard, your angry/constructive feedback (and no doubt warranted) is a mere speck of dust that may catch someones attention for a couple of seconds. as much as we all think we are incredibly important and that everyone wants to listen to us, one thing to realise is.. really, no one cares.
After a recovery, and a restore on my iPad that I did through my windows computer, now my Son‘s iPad says unavailable. We no longer have the phone associated with the Apple ID and password that the code is being sent to. What can I do?
With respect, that answer isn’t helpful in some situations. For instance, many of us are seeing “iPad Unavailable” in situations that have nothing to do with incorrect passwords and PIN codes…nor are we being prompted to do anything.
That’s the issue that some of us need resolving. I appreciate folks’ willingness to help but, so far, I haven’t seen anything applicable.
Unlock the iPad
Just change my Passcode and Now my iPad is Saying IPAD UNAVAILABLE
iPad Pro unavailable,
What a horrible security software update. I’m one of a lot having this same issue. It won’t connect to WiFi. I don’t have iTunes and based on comments above Best Buy might not be able to help since this device won’t connect online. The physical hardware seems okay just really bad security software. What a waste !
My I pad keeps telling me that my I pad is unavailable
iPad Unavailable Message
