If you have to reset it, this will result in erasing the iPad. You can, however, restore it from a backup as described in this support article --> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


If you reset your passcode in the last 72 hours and have forgotten it, read this article about a special reset service available in iPadOS 17 and higher. --> Temporarily use your old passcode when you forget your new passcode on iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
