Until you recover access to your AppleID, any attempt to reset your iPad will encounter “activation” - which will require input of your AppleID and associated password. Without working AppleID credentials, you’ll be stuck with a “reset” but unusable iPad.
If you have forgotten your AppleID or associated password, these can be recovered here:
To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to any 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 you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update your secondary (recovery) email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:
Otherwise, you are running out of options - and this may be your final option of AppleID account recovery:

Sorry that happened,
If you have no devices signed in to that email
And no recovery contacts or recovery emails It may not be possible to sign in.
But if you find an app/website of apple’s that has bad security it may not ask for email codes.
I do have my phone number connected but that’s just about it. It tells me that it has to be verified and it will usually say 3days or 15hrs. Once the time is up it just resets to whatever. Is there like a live customer service person I can contact to get this situated with?
As you are clearly using “another computer” to post here, if you need to access your email, why not sign-in to your email provider’s web portal using a web browser?
I have tried that. I may have to just start fresh with the iPad.
iPad locked out
