Unable to unlock iPad as Voice Over is turned on
Voice over is on and it won’t accept my password on my IPad Gen 10.
I can’t therefore get into settings to change it.
any suggestions?

Apple Support's online VoiceOver article (link at the bottom):
says:
"When VoiceOver is on, you need to use special gestures to unlock iPad,
Unlock iPad
- On an iPad with a Home button: Press the Home button using the finger you registered with Touch ID.
- On an iPad with Touch ID: Rest your finger on the top button using the finger you registered with Touch ID.
- On an iPad with Face ID: Wake iPad and glance at it, then drag up from the bottom edge of the screen until you hear two rising tones (if Face ID is enabled).
If prompted, enter your passcode. To avoid having your passcode spoken as you enter it, enter your passcode silently using handwriting mode or type onscreen braille.
The article also has tips on how to: go to the Home Screen, open Control Center, switch apps, and more".
See: Operate iPad when VoiceOver is on - Apple Support if you wish.
All the best :-)
