Whether anyone else has or not won't really help you. If anyone in your household tried to use your iPad, they could have entered the passcode incorrectly. Regardless, if the the iPad is disabled, it has to be restored using a computer with iTunes (Windows) or Finder (Mac), fully erasing the device. You can then restore from backup, assuming you've been routinely backing up.
