I'm not certain what has happened here, and what you're trying to regain access.


There is no means to gain access to an iPad using a Mac, though you can use a Mac to reset the iPad. If you have forgotten the iPad passcode, here is how to reset that (and the iPad contents):

... If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support


If you are encountering Activation Lock here as I might suspect, see the Activation Lock section here:

... How to Unlock an iPad or iPhone? - Apple Community


You will need to regain access to the Apple ID holding the Activation Lock in order to be able to clear that lock, or provide Apple with convincing proof of ownership, such as the original Apple device purchase receipts.
