My auntie gave me her old iPad but it telling to give it back to her because I need her password but she doesn’t remember the password for it how do I get into the iPad without this
You don’t. She will need to unlock it using her credentials. She can visit I forgot.apple.com to reset the password. She should also prepare the device for you. What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Presumably you are being prompted for your AppleID credentials - so as to satisfy the Activation Lock. You will require the AppleID an associated password that was last used to successfully activate the device - which, for the bona-fide owner (your Aunt) should be straightforward.
Here are the Apple support pages that outline the Activation Lock - and the only mechanisms by which it can be satisfied:
Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Turn off Activation Lock – Apple Support
As you will discover, unless you are the owner of the AppleID that was last used to activate the device, you’ll not be able to defeat or bypass the Activation Lock. With documentary evidence that you are the original owner (such as sales receipt showing the serial number), Apple may be prepared to assist - otherwise they and nobody here will be able to help you.
If you have the necessary documentation, Apple have recently introduced a new portal though which you may be able to request release of an Activation Lock:

However, recovery of the AppleID credentials should be possible…
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:

After recovering the AppleID credentials and resolving the Activation lock, the iPad can be properly prepared for reuse by its new owner:

You will of course need to use your own AppleID. If you don’t already have an existing AppleID - and need to create one:

If you are minor, you may need help in setting-up an appropriate AppleID account - as otherwise you may require a Credit Card to set-up a new AppleID account:
