An iPad passcode cannot be recovered, reset or modified from another device.
iPadOS 15.2 or later with a forgotten Passcode
Apple has introduced a new procedure with which to reset an iPad or iPhone with a forgotten Passcode - allowing you to use your AppleID and associated Password to reset your device.
How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support
You will be able to restore data from a pre-existing iCloud backup without the use of a computer, but will require a PC/Mac to restore data from an iTunes backup.
iPadOS 15.1 and earlier - and all devices that are Disabled
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.
If your iPad is not recognised by your computer when connected, try using a different USB port. If you continue to have connection difficulties, this support page may help with troubleshooting:

These are the instructions to re-gain access to your iPhone/iPad:

The update notification indicates that the iPad2 is not running the most recent version of iOS supported by the iPad - which, for a WiFi Only iPad2 (obsolete) is iOS 9.3.5.

I have windows 10 on friends laptop.. I downloaded itunes 64k for windows..
i remembered my apple id and apple password
the laptop saying download IOS 9.3.5 upon downloading the ipad software it says same thing connect to itunes on the ipad screen

what i can do now to reset or start the ipad, it is struck on disabled page.. only thing i can do id turn on and turn off, connect to itunes and it does not do anything further, stays on connect to itunes on ipad screen, please advice me, i will highly appreciate
As described, the iPad may be unrecoverable. Unless you are able to resolve the issue with the guidance already provided, you may have exhausted your available options.
Whether or not you manage to resolve your immediate problem, you need to consider that compatible Apps for your iPad2 are increasingly difficult to find - as most developers have dropped support for 32-bit devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13. Most (if not all) Apps that are compatible with very old 32-bit devices have long ago been removed from the Apple App Store.
Recovery of the iPad, if successful, will fully erase any data and Apps from the iPad. Gifting a long-obsolete iPad may not be helpful to the recipient. As older versions of Apps are removed from the Apple App Store, you’ll not be able to (re)download or install them - which will severely limit the usefulness and utility of the iPad. As such, if you want or need to access most current Apps, requiring more recent versions of iOS, you’ll need to consider replacement of the iPad with a newer or current model.
ipad 2 keep saying disabled after installing itunes, after making a new apple id, nothing seems to work
