iPad reads everything I press, Does not accept unlock code

My iPad started reading everything back to me. I restarted the iPad and now it will not accept my passcode. It only reads the numbers


iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Sounds like you have activated Voiceover in the Accessibility settings. This means a single tap on the screen results in the voice describing what you've tapped. You need to double-tap to make anything work. So where you are now - trying to input your passcode - I think you have to double-tap every number. If that works and you get back in, you need to disable Voiceover by going to Settings - Accessibility and switching off Voiceover. But REMEMBER, you have to keep double-tapping to navigate until you get to turn it off.
