I forgot my password for my iPad and am trying to restore it.

Also I can't see iTunes on the laptop.

Can you help?

Hi helpapple1,

If your Mac is running macOS Catalina or later, iTunes is dead. Your iPad should show up in the Finder instead, or in Apple Configurator 2 (free from the App Store).
