I changed the password on my iPad and now it says data recovery cannot be completed please restore

After changing the password on my iPad, I locked it and it asked for the previous one as I entered it correctly it the asked for a restore and data recovery. I connected to my computer and attempted to data recovery and restore the iPad but it says it cannot complete the task. Ive also restarted and it will ask for the password again and won't open. The iPad keeps giving the msg: Data recovery cannot be completed. Please restore your iPad from back up.

These support pages outline the available methods to restore an iPad - either from a backup, or to Factory Settings:

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup – Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

Restore all content to iPad from a backup - Apple Support

You’ll need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows 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 computer 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 or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be delighted to assist.
