iPad is disabled and it's asking to connect to iTunes.
I connect to iTunes and I press Restore and it's asking for me to enter the passcode but the iPad is disabled and can't get passed the screen.
How can I bypass this to have it restored??
I got this iPad from OfferUp long time ago.
I haven't used it for awhile and I forgot the pin. I made too many attempts that it disabled.
It won't let me attempt to try other codes.
How can I go pass this error?
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.

When I turn on the iPad, the screen is stuck on ‘iPad is disabled’ and below that it says for me to connect to iTunes.
I connect to iTunes and its saying to unlock ‘Shaes iPad’ input the passcode but the iPad is stuck on the ‘iPad is disabled. Connect to iTunes.
