Hey there,
If your iPad has iOS 15.2 or later installed, see: How to reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you forgot your passcode - Apple Support
If that option is not available, you will need to use a computer. See:If you forgot your iPad passcode - Apple Support

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.

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:

Thank you, and if you dont mind me asking, how do reset it if I cant get in? Literally all it says when I turn it is ipad is disabled. So all i can do is lug it up to my computer and try to fix on here.
i basically already did all of that, and I have no idea what update it currently has. Is there anther way to do this.
If you forgot your iPad password, your only solution is to reset it to factory settings, but if you have another problem let me know with more details!
