How do you unlock an iPad.
I have an 11” iPad Pro 2nd generation. I’ve seen it somewhere on the site but can never remember where it is. Help!
iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

There's multiple kinds of "locking" on devices. Click on the links below to find instructions on how to deal with your specific situation:
1) iCloud: Activation Lock - Activation Lock for iPhone and iPad - Apple Support - This is a security feature so only legitimate (e.g., not stolen) use of devices is possible. Read this support article about how to remove Activation Lock --> How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support - If an activation lock was put on a device, only the owner of the account that applied the lock can remove it. Get them to remove it or return the item for a refund. If you are the owner, see the part at the end about asking Apple to reset the device.
2) Device lock: If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled, read this support article if you are using iOS or iPadOS 15.2 or higher --> If you see a iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support or here if you do not meet the criteria for the previous method--> If you forgot your iPhone passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it - Apple Support
