If you had iCloud Photos turned on, then you would be able to sign in at iCloud.com with your Apple ID and Password and view the photos there.
View your photos and videos on iCloud.com - Apple Support
If they are available there, you will not lose them resetting your iPad.
If you had not used iCloud Photos, it is possible they are saved in your iCloud Backup and can be restored after erasing your iPad. Unfortunately there is not a way to verify if the photos were saved there and the iCloud backup would need to be turned on before you forgot your passcode.

Which method did you choose for backup:
Hello Mac Jim,
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if I have a recent iCloud backup on ipad or iCloud Photos.
